One of President Donald Trump’s executive orders labeled Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. According to experts, this will allow more funding and opportunities to fight such organizations.

There are many ways to deal with cartels using technology, but infiltration also works, though that may put agents at risk.

Cartels are much more fluid than traditional terrorist groups and more difficult to fully destroy.

President Donald Trump declared Saturday that the “invasion of our country is over" as illegal crossings at the southern U.S. border plummeted to a record low.

The February apprehension numbers released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed the 47th president had quickly delivered on one of his signature promises.

President Donald Trump claimed Saturday that arrests along the United States' border with Mexico hit a record low of just over 8,300 in February, but official data is yet to be released.

In the post on Truth Social, Trump said that "the invasion of our country is over", after monthly illegal crossings peaked at around 300,000 in December 2023 under former President Joe Biden.

The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally in President Trump's first full month in office plunged to a level not seen in at least 25 years, according to preliminary government data obtained by CBS News.

Last month, Border Patrol recorded about 8,450 apprehensions of migrants who crossed into the country unlawfully between official entry points along the U.S.-Mexico border, the statistics show.

EXCLUSIVE — Border Patrol agents expressed more distrust of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris than President Joe Biden and said they will not vote for her in November in interviews with the Washington Examiner.

None of the more than a dozen Border Patrol agents questioned by the Washington Examiner said they would cast a ballot for Harris because they do not view her as supportive of the organization and its congressionally mandated mission.

The Biden administration received welcome news in May as the number of immigrants arrested entering the United States illegally from Mexico dropped to the third-lowest level in 40 months.

A group of migrants walked into Mexico on Saturday against pedestrian traffic on the international bridge between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez minutes after being deported from the United States under the Biden administration's new asylum ban.

The mainly twenty-something Venezuelan men were ejected under the June 5 proclamation fast-tracking deportations of most people crossing the border illegally.

Senate Democrats failed to advance a bipartisan border security bill Thursday, with nearly every Republican voting to filibuster it as Donald Trump wields border chaos as a centerpiece of his campaign against President Joe Biden.

The vote was 43-50, falling short of the 60 needed to proceed. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was the only GOP senator to vote to advance the bill Thursday, while six Democrats voted with the remaining Republican senators to block it.

The Senate failed to advance a border bill backed by some Democrats and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday, seeing the measure garner less support than it did in February when it was first considered. 

By a vote of 43-50, senators chose not to advance the bill, which was negotiated in a bipartisan nature by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and James Lankford, R-Okla.

Both Lankford and Sinema sided against their own legislation, a departure from their previous votes.
