Trump Administration Immigration Accomplishments
President Trump is working hard to restore the rule of law and make immigration work for America. View a timeline of the Trump Administration's immigration accomplishments:

September
Trump Administration Signs Asylum Agreement with El Salvador
On September 20, the United States signed a “cooperative asylum agreement†with El Salvador stipulating that migrants from third countries who would otherwise seek refuge in the U.S. would be permitted to remain in El Salvador. In exchange, the U.S. pledged American investment in the Central American nation. Although few details are presently available, the agreement is similar to one made with Guatemala in July. It reflects the Trump administration’s strategy of reaching agreements with individual countries in the region as a means to stem the flow of migrants to the U.S.
Progress Made On Border Wall
According to a November 4 tweet from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Carla Provost, 78 miles of construction of the border wall system have been completed; 158 miles are under construction; and 273 miles are in the pre-construction phase.
Progress on the border wall follows President Trump’s early September decision to divert $3.6 billion in military construction funds toward building the wall – a decision supported by a July Supreme Court ruling. On July 26, the justices lifted a lower court injunction that was preventing progress on plans to expand the border wall with Mexico by utilizing approximately $2.5 billion in unspent military funds for wall projects in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
