What evidence shows that migration patterns have changed under the new administration?

Secretary Noem reports a dramatic reduction in daily migrant encounters, with numbers dropping from over 10,000-11,000 under the Biden administration to less than 200 currently. This significant decrease indicates that caravans have largely stopped and suggests some self-deportation may be occurring as policies change. The sharp decline to what Noem describes as 'almost zero' demonstrates the effectiveness of new enforcement approaches. This represents one of the most substantial shifts in border crossing patterns in recent years, transforming from a crisis situation to manageable levels within a relatively short timeframe.
