Amidst tariff discussions, a report from US Customs and Border Protection indicates a significant reduction in illegal border crossings in March under the Trump administration compared to early 2024 under Biden. This decline is attributed to increased border patrols, with the agency highlighting record low apprehension numbers and suggesting operational control is nearing reality. Concurrently, while border crossings decreased, seizures of illicit drugs, including fentanyl, saw a notable rise during the same period. Despite this development in border security, the article notes that it has received less media attention than might be expected.
