Border Apprehensions Dropped to Lowest on Record in February President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the "invasion" of the U.S. southern border is over, citing a drop in apprehensions of illegal crossers to the lowest level on record in February.
Border Patrol agents recorded just 8,326 apprehensions last month, the lowest monthly total in recorded history. By contrast, during the administration of President Joe Biden, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported as many as 300,000 apprehensions of illegal border crossers in a single month.
Trump credited his administration's strict enforcement policies for the dramatic decline in border arrests. On his first day in office, the president signed 10 executive orders and proclamations addressing border security and the deportation of illegal immigrants. He ended "catch and release," shut down the CBP One app used for parole exceptions, and pressured Mexico through the threat of tariffs into deploying 10,000 troops to curb drug trafficking and tighten enforcement of immigration controls.

Canada and Mexico Consider Matching US Tariffs on China Canada and Mexico are considering imposing tariffs on China to match those implemented by the United States.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters in Vancouver on Feb. 28 that Canada is "open" to talks about matching U.S. tariffs on China. She noted that Canada already has tariffs on some components coming from China, as well as on electric vehicles. Mexico has already proposed a tariff on China to match the one imposed by the U.S, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
During an interview on Bloomberg Television on Feb. 28, Bessent cited Mexico's example to urge Canada to follow suit. "I do think one very interesting proposal that the Mexican government has made is perhaps matching the U.S. on our China tariffs," Bessent said. "I think it would be a nice gesture if the Canadians did it also, so in a way we could have 'Fortress North America' from the flood of Chinese imports." (More) | |
Andrew Cuomo Enters NYC Mayoral Race Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched his campaign for mayor of New York City on Saturday, setting up a high-profile challenge to incumbent Eric Adams in an increasingly crowded race.
Cuomo, a Democrat who resigned in 2021 amid sexual misconduct allegations, launched his campaign with a March 1 video statement on social media platform X, pitching himself as the experienced leader the city needs to navigate its challenges.
"New York City is the greatest city in the world," Cuomo said, but blamed "failed Democratic leadership" and a "lack of intelligent action" for what he described as a city in crisis that "feels threatening, out of control." He painted a bleak picture of a metropolis struggling with crime, homelessness, and economic downturn, citing an influx of illegal immigrants, empty storefronts, graffiti, and public safety concerns. Positioning himself as a pragmatic moderate, Cuomo emphasized his ability to work across the aisle and collaborate with political adversaries. (More) How did you enjoy today's Morning Brief?
