Part 3/13:
Since January, the Trump administration's policies have notably impacted migration patterns. These include dismantling the CBP1 app, pressuring Mexico to deploy troops along its northern border, ending the catch-and-release policy, and reinstituting the Remain in Mexico policy. Such measures contributed to a drastic reduction in illegal crossings, with reports indicating that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is now closing several temporary processing facilities. Each closure reportedly saves the agency between $5 million to $30 million per month, signaling a fiscal as well as a security-focused shift.
