President Donald Trump signed a new executive order on March 7, 2025, aimed at tightening the southern border further and combating drug trafficking.
The order modifies tariffs on Mexican goods, specifically lowering duties on potash and exempting certain auto parts, to protect U.S. industry while continuing border enforcement.
Border crossings have dropped 90% compared to a year ago, reaching historic lows not seen since the 1960s, according to CBP data. Trump’s administration credits these results to strong immigration policies and vows to continue strict enforcement to reduce illegal crossings and secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
An investigation into results continues.
