  • Illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border has fallen to a five-year low, with current averages around 1,000 daily encounters.
  • U.S. Border Patrol reported an average of 1,000 migrant encounters during the week ending January 5, the lowest since April 2020.
  • The drop in numbers follows a record-high of over 249,000 encounters in December 2023, leading to significant policy adjustments.
  • Stepped-up cooperation between the Biden administration and Mexico contributes to the decline, including increased enforcement along migrant routes.
  • The report indicates that these changes are temporary, with experts noting that migration patterns may shift again with new political developments.
