Seven major border and immigration moves of 2025

Seven weeks after Inauguration Day, President Donald Trump stood before America and declared the U.S. southern border secure.
“The media and our friends in the Democratic Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president,” Trump said to loud applause during his address to a joint session of Congress on March 4.
Now, 11 months into Trump’s second term, the administration, under the leadership of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan, has largely succeeded in the aggressive implementation of Trump’s border and immigration agenda.
“President Trump is delivering on his promise to Make America Safe Again and deport criminal illegal aliens,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal.
“In record time, we have totally secured the border and are carrying out the largest mass deportation operation of criminal illegal aliens in history. Next year, the administration will continue to build upon our historic successes with even more deportations,” Jackson said.
Day 1 ‘Emergency’
Pen in hand, Trump signed an executive order during his first hours as the 47th president to declare the situation at the southern border a national emergency. The order allowed Trump to deploy additional military personnel and resources to the border.
From January to February 2025, encounters with illegal aliens between the ports of entry at the southern border fell by over a third.
