The ‘Trump Effect’ at the Border is Already Amazing; Trump-Era Southern Border Sees Migrant Encounters Plummet by Over 60% as New Policies Kick In; Number of Border Encounters Have Done a ‘complete 180’ Under Trump Administration, Sheriff Says
The ‘Trump Effect’ at the Border Is Already Amazing:
We’ve been giving regular updates on the progress of Trump’s deportation plan, and numbers are already promising. Hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals have been arrested, and the White House reports they are being flown out of the country.

“The Trump Administration also deported hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals via military aircraft,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed in a post on X. “The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway.”
But there’s a lot more happening than just the effort to get rid of the criminals already here. As Zero Hedge notes, there’s a “Trump effect” going on at the border.
“Migrant encounters at border ports of entry have dramatically declined since Trump took office on Monday,” the site reports. “Imagine that—the Biden-Harris regime had the ability all along to slow or stop the migrant invasion but chose not to, suggesting the crisis may have been intentional. The American people must hold the Democratic Party accountable at the ballot box in future elections for years of chaos.”
The following chart comparing encounters at ports of entry tells the story: during Biden’s tenure, daily migrant encounters exceeded 1,500 on average. Immediately following Trump’s inauguration, those numbers dropped to an astonishing 463 per day — and were down to just 44 by Jan. 22. —>READ MORE HERE
Trump-era southern border sees migrant encounters plummet by over 60% as new policies kick in:
The number of migrants arriving at the southern border has dropped by over 60% since President Donald Trump took office last week, new data obtained by Fox News Digital shows.
There were 7,287 migrant encounters at the southern border in the first seven days (Jan 20-26) after Trump’s inauguration by both Border Patrol between ports of entry and by the Office of Field Operations (OFO) at ports of entry, with a daily average of 1,041 encounters a day.
That compares to 20,086 encounters in the seven days in the final days of the Biden administration (Jan 13-19) prior to Trump’s inauguration, averaging 2,869 encounters a day.
That equals more than a 63% decrease in the number of encounters at the southern border.
President Trump entered office last week and immediately declared a national emergency at the southern border, and ordered the expulsion of migrants without the possibility of asylum.
He also shut down the Biden-era use of the CBP One app that allows migrants to schedule appointments at ports of entry so they can be allowed into the U.S. via humanitarian parole. The numbers suggest that the moves are having an impact at both the ports of entry and for those crossing illegally. —>READ MORE HERE
