Mexican cartels, whose migrant-smuggling profits surged under President Joe Biden, are increasingly turning to Pacific Ocean routes as President Donald Trump’s administration tightens enforcement at the southern border. For the past six months, the administration says it has stopped releasing illegal border crossers into the U.S., contributing to a sharp drop in migrant encounters and prompting smugglers to adapt with more sea-based operations along the California coast, according to a Daily Wire report.
More than 1.6 million immigrants have lost their legal status in the United States during the first 11 months of President Trump's second term. This figure, tracked by immigration advocates, represents the largest effort to revoke deportation protections for those who entered through legal pathways. The administration has ended multiple programs, including temporary protected status for several countries and the CBP One app.
