WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration is believed to be behind a major shift in apprehensions at the southern border.

There has also been a significant increase in military personnel at the southern border, which has also coincided with a dramatic decrease in illegal border crossings.

In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, White House Border Czar Tom Homan highlighted the change, stating, "Under the Biden administration, we averaged about 10-11,000 a day highest points. Some points 15,000. Do you know what the number was yesterday? 178. 178 crossed 2,000 miles of border."

Inside the country, the mass deportation program is in full swing and may also be serving as a deterrent. The White House marked the first 100 days with large posters of those arrested put out on the White House lawn.

"ICE is going to continue to focus on raids against high-threat criminal aliens. We're going to use the entire force and power of the federal government to get them all home," said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Despite the reduction in crossings, many immigration policies remain entangled in legal battles, including the Alien Enemies Act, which has been used to deport hundreds of migrants to a supermax prison in El Salvador.

Among those deported is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been given protected legal status but was labeled a gang member by the Trump Administration.

In Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan was recently arrested and charged with obstructing or impeding a proceeding. She is accused of diverting federal agents' attention and aiding an undocumented immigrant in fleeing from her courthouse.

Critics, including State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez, have condemned her arrest and the new Trump administration's policies allowing arrests to be made without a warrant, arguing, "That is a direct violation of our U.S. and Wisconsin's constitution. We are entering an era of federal administrative lawlessness."

Despite new polls indicating waning support for Trump's immigration policies, the former president has signed new, more aggressive executive orders.

Trump stated, "We can't let these people stay. And the courts are allowing them to stay. And we're just not going to allow it. So, hopefully, the Supreme Court will come to the rescue of our country."

Several Democratic governors in so-called sanctuary cities continue to resist Trump's immigration policies through lawsuits and by refusing to cooperate with federal agents. One of Trump's new executive orders aims to counter these policies using "all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures."
