The migratory narrow implemented by Donald Trump It begins to produce effects. Second ABC Newsthe number of irregular immigrants intercepted on the southwestern border fell by a third. Last January, 61,465 Fermi were recorded: a decisive decrease compared to 96,048 December and, above all, compared to 176,000 January 2024. “According to data, the numbers decreased further after the president’s settlement Donald Trumpwhich took place on January 20, “he specified ABC News. Until the presidential settlement, there were in fact about 2,000 daily stops. In the last ten days of January, the average figure has instead dropped to 786. This means that the line of deterrence, adopted by the White House, is starting to bear fruit.
Nevertheless, the head of the US borders, Tom Homanhe recently expressed impatience, telling himself dissatisfied with the expulsion rate that have occurred so far. “We have to do much more,” he said, also showing himself irritated for some escapes of news that would compromise the raids. It is perhaps also for this reason that, a few days ago, Trump The interim director of Immigration and Customs enforcement removed from the position, Caleb Vitello. All this, while some officials referred to the CNN that the US administration would have for the moment suspended the plan to host irregular migrants in Guantanamo: it seems that the reception structures are not currently equipped with electricity and air conditioning. On the other hand, the American president would still be ready to sign an ordinance of public health to define irregular immigrants arriving at the border as subjects at risk of spreading diseases: a rule that, if confirmed, would aim to increase the strategy of dissuasion towards migratory flows.
In all this, the White House is continuing with the hard line against the Mexican drug signs. In early February, Homan He threatened to hit them with a military action. “I think the signs would be foolish to face the military, but we know that in the past they have already faced the Mexican army, while we now have the Army of the United States,” he said. In addition, some American officials referred to the CNN that “the CIA, under the guidance of the president Donald Trumphe secretly flying the Drones Sqm-9 Reaper on Mexico to spy on drug signs “. It is in this context that, a few days ago, the US administration added six of these signs to its list of terrorist organizations. In short, the road is still long. But the wind seems definitely changed. And the collapse of arrivals at the southern border, at least for now, is demonstrating it.
