Jan 20, 2025 RUBY, ARIZONA - JANUARY 04: Migrants from Mexico and Guatemala are apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers after crossing a section of border wall into the U.S. on January 04, 2025 in Ruby, Arizona. Unlawful border crossings along the Texas Southern border have plummeted to a four-year low according to recent data provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Immigration experts have attributed parts of the decrease to a ruling under the Biden administration. The ruling encouraged traveling migrants to make appointments through an app before turning themselves in at ports of entry. The ruling also established ineligibility for asylum seekers attempting to cross illegally. President-elect Donald Trump continues speaking on and proposing hardline border and migration policies at the U.S.-Mexico border upon his return to office on January 20.
