The Trump administration, which took office January 20th, has drastically reduced the quantity of border crossers from Mexico to the United States.
In March of 2025 the Border Patrol caught 7,181 border crossers and that was a 95% decrease from the 137,473 detained in March of 2024.
As a result, the quantity of migrants in northern Mexico has greatly dropped.
An effective way to gauge this drop in the migrant population is to look at migrant shelters in Mexico.
