Fred Lucas February 14, 2020
While President Donald Trump extends his declaration of a national emergency to use Defense Department money to build the southern border wall, illegal immigration in January dropped by almost three-quarters from the peak of the border crisis last May.
Enforcement actions also decreased by 10% in January compared with December, according to numbers released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
The enforcement actions included 29,200 arrests and 7,479 “inadmissibility decisionsâ€â€”meaning migrants’ asylum claims were adjudicated and they were sent back to their home country.
