Border Patrol apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border jumped from 400,651 in 2020 , the last year of the first Trump administration, to more than 1.6 million the next year after Biden took office.

Illegal crossings at the border have plummeted in the past 18 months , while legal forms of migration have expanded.

The Biden administration also negotiated with Mexico to ramp up immigration enforcement.

Mexico ’s National Guard and military both played increasing roles in immigration enforcement and detention.

Biden also expanded “temporary protected status,” which shields people from deportation back to countries facing political turmoil or natural disasters.
