What is the recent change in U.S. immigration policy affecting migrants from Latin America and Ukraine?
The Biden administration has implemented an indefinite pause on applications for immigration benefits from migrants originating from Latin America and Ukraine who are seeking legal status in the United States. This represents a major shift in White House immigration policy, according to recently revealed details. This policy change is causing significant concern among applicants who were previously pursuing legal pathways to remain in the U.S. The pause particularly affects those who were allowed temporary entry on humanitarian grounds, leaving many migrants in a state of uncertainty regarding their immigration status.

What changes have occurred in border apprehensions since the Trump administration took office compared to earlier periods?
Border apprehensions have dramatically decreased since the Trump administration took office. According to the data, there were approximately 2,636 apprehensions per day in early January before Trump took office, which fell significantly to 796 per day after the administration was in place. This represents a remarkable difference of about 100,000 fewer apprehensions compared to January of the previous year. This substantial reduction will likely have significant impacts on government resources allocated to immigration enforcement. The change may be attributed to both policy shifts in how the Trump administration approaches immigration enforcement compared to the Biden administration, as well as the perception of Trump's credibility regarding deportation threats.
