A migrant shelter in Northern Mexico reports a significant drop in immigration less than a month into the reinstated Trump administration. White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai attributes this decline to Trump's immigration policies, emphasizing their focus on American interests.

Mexican news outlet Milenio confirms the sharp decrease in migrant flow through Torreón, correlating it with the new presidential administration in the United States. Migrant activists cited by Milenio point to increased fear of detention and deportation as contributing factors to this trend.

María Concepción Martínez Rodríguez, a migrant activist in Torreón, notes that the fortified border has deterred many from attempting to cross. She observes a substantial change in the migrant flow, with some shelters experiencing a complete absence of individuals seeking refuge.

Since his return, President Trump has swiftly implemented measures to address illegal immigration and bolster border security. These actions include restarting border wall construction, deploying military personnel to the border, intensifying ICE enforcement operations, and classifying certain migrant gangs as terrorist organizations.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reveals a considerable decrease in apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the southern border in January, reaching levels unseen since May 2020. Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, highlighted the administration's rapid success, citing a dramatic reduction in daily encounters with migrants compared to peak numbers under the previous administration.

Homan expressed surprise at the low encounter figures, emphasizing Trump's commitment to border security. Desai credits the new administration with swiftly reversing the perceived migrant crisis that occurred under the previous leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris. He states that President Trump is utilizing all available executive powers to secure the border, enforce immigration laws, and prioritize American citizens.
