Migration progress thus far: Illegal entry is the lowest in 3 decades, arrests are up 200%-600%. The DOJ has moved to expand prosecutions and cut off federal benefits, the SBA blocking them from loans. With NGOs being bled of funds; refugee shelters, invasion charities, lawyers shutting down; paroles terminated, the Trump Administration has created a firm and broad system of prevention and pressure.

What lacks is removals, which ICE & the DHS has reported was intentionally stunted under Biden. Current moves to ramp up deportation range from expanding targets, banning 'safe zones', permitting deputy contracts, arresting alien employers, and strongly facilitating self-deportations. A large Travel Ban is to begin and the President intends to enact wartime measures for aggressive deportation, but ICE still needs more detention capacity.
