Within days of President Trump being sworn in, Border Patrol encounters with wannabe illegal immigrants have plummeted to record lows.
CBP figures show that encounters over the past three days were significantly lower than the final three days of Biden’s presidency.

NewsNation reporter Ali Bradley shared more figures, noting that last week encounters were at 4000 in a day, and yesterday there were fewer than 500.
The so-called “Trump Effect” is in full swing down here at the border as Border Patrol encounters plummeted in the first few days of his presidency:

encounters are often CBPOne app appointments—As you can see, those numbers nearly vanished after President Trump scrapped the app. The app was considered a “legal pathway” under the Biden administration—Nearly 1M people entered the country using the CBPOne. Trump promised the app would be gone and within 15 minutes of being sworn in, it was inoperable.
The swift action to dismantle the CBPOne app has proven to be a decisive move in controlling immigration flow.

For further context, in December there were 200,000 encounters.
Border encounters have collapsed since Trump assumed office – with less than ~800 per day.

This compares to over 200,000 encounters in December 2024 alone.

The mass deportation effort of those already within the US is also in full flow.

As we highlighted earlier this week, many illegals are reportedly ‘self deporting’ in the wake of Trump’s inauguration.
Trump is also deploying active duty troops to the border to assist Border Patrol.

Yep! The Trump effect took effect even before he came into office.
