Border security
Trump issued a number of executive orders immediately upon his return to the White House:
He introduced a general ban on asylum for migrants caught at the southern border.
He sent the military to help ensure the border.
According to the US Government, the border patrol was arrested in February 8300 migrants, which is:
- the lowest level of 2000. year, since the statistics were conducted,
- a huge decline compared to 141,000 arrests in February 2024. (before the Trump return to the White House),
- Less even than 29,000 arrests in January 2025.
Arrests and detention
The US Department of Homeland Security estimated that 2022. about 11 million migrants lived without legal status. Today, analysts believe that this figure is about 14 million, Hina transmits.
In December, Trump announced that he wanted to deport all violators of immigration laws.
During the first three weeks of the mandate:
- Ice arrested about 14,000 people,
- It is 667 arrests a day, ie more than twice the last year’s daily average,
- On an annual basis that means about 250,000 arrests, and “millions”, as Trump claims.
Compared to the Biden’s period, ICE has expanded the action and now:
- Handles and persons without a criminal dossier,
- persons with final deportation orders,
- These even those who come to routine reports in Ice offices.
The number of arrested migrants without a criminal past increased by 500 percent from mid-January to the end of March, according to ICE statistics.
He has been held by March 23 in detention nearly 48,000 migrants, which is significantly above the agency capacity of 41,500.
Deportations
Despite efforts, Trump is hardly increasing the number of deportations, although new roads for returning migrants in Mexico and Central America are open.
In his first month of his term, Trump administration deported:
- 37,660 people, which is less than average 57,000 deportations per month from the last year of Biden’s administration.
The numbers involved formal deportations conducted by ICE, as well as the more informal “return” conducted by the border service.
The High Official of Trump Administration claims that the number of deportations should increase in the coming months, how other countries have accepted several deported. But the initial data show that Trump will be difficult to reach deportation rates from Biden’s period, when there were more illegal transitions and easier deportations.
