Trump's immigration policies may be creating a quieter border in Arizona

The U.S.-Mexico border has been fairly quiet since President Trump took office, which his administration attributes to his tough immigration policies.

The big picture: Apprehensions in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Tucson sector and across the border have declined since President Biden left office and are down from the same time in 2024.

Since Trump took office last month, illegal border crossings have fallen 92%, according to the president's border czar, Tom Homan.
