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.
