On Monday, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported that only 582 crossings occurred at the southern border on Sunday, highlighting a significant decline since Trump took office. The Border Patrol recorded 665 illegal crossings on Friday and 731 on Saturday. Melugin stated he had never seen such low numbers in his coverage of the border, noting that there were over 11,000 daily illegal crossings at the peak of the crisis in December 2023. Since then, illegal crossings have decreased dramatically by 95 percent within just a week of Trump&#8217;s presidency. In comparison to previous highs\u2014over 4,000 illegal entries in Texas&#8217;s Del Rio sector alone\u2014the recent figures show only 60 incidents in that area on Sunday. Additionally, Trump ended a program that allowed for more than 1,500 migrants to be released daily through an app used at ports of entry.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these statistics suggesting success, Trump appears dissatisfied and has instructed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to increase daily arrests of criminal undocumented immigrants from several hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 per day. Each ICE field office is now expected to make around 75 arrests daily or face accountability if they fall short.<\/p>\n<p>This marks a stark contrast from former President Joe Biden&#8217;s approach to immigration enforcement; while Biden\u2019s administration seemed less focused on tangible results for Americans and more inclined toward celebrating minor achievements like month-to-month inflation drops despite overall price increases during his term\u2014Trump aims for concrete outcomes demonstrating effective governance and enhanced safety for citizens<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2396055,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-32.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32502,33709,33009,49338],"class_list":["post-2396054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-administration","tag-border-security","tag-illegal-immigration","tag-trump-remarks"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-32.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2396054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2396054"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2396054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2396058,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2396054\/revisions\/2396058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2396055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2396054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2396054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2396054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
