No new laws were needed, just the will to enforce the existing ones

Illegal crossings along the busiest section of the US-Canadian border — which encompasses parts of New York, Vermont and New Hampshire — have plummeted thanks to President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Just 54 migrants were apprehended in the Swanton sector, which stretches almost 300 miles, in March. It is a drastic 95% drop from the 1,109 border crossers caught in March 2024, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

This area recorded more than 80% of all apprehensions along the northern border during the 2024 fiscal year, according to CBP figures.

Stark before-and-after photos posted by Swanton sector Border Patrol chief Robert Garcia on X on Monday show lines of migrants carrying backpacks traversing the woods a year ago, versus a lone deer grazing in the same spot now.

Under the Biden administration, illegal crossings at the northern border hit record highs as migrants were being released into the US en masse.

In the Swanton sector, more than 1,400 border crossers were caught in April 2024 — eclipsing the totals from fiscal years 2021 and 2022 combined, according to CBP figures.

When Trump returned to the White House, he ended the previous administration’s use of the problematic “catch and release” border policy and commenced a mass deportation effort.

Northern border residents told The Post that they’ve noticed the change as migrant crossings on their properties, which were very common under Biden, have come to a screeching halt.

“We haven’t seen anyone since November. It’s been nice not having to scan the yards night and morning,” said Daniel Cowan, who lives along the border in rural Chateaugay, New York, a town of 1,900 residents.

That’s one small success; in the meantime, the war against America continues in our courtrooms

Democrat Judge Blocks NYC Mayor From Cooperating With ICE

Democrat Judge Mary Rosado of the New York Supreme Court has determined that New York City Mayor Eric Adams can't cooperate with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by allowing the government agency to operate at Rikers Island, at least not for now. 

…. [A]t the request of the city council, Judge Rosado issued a temporary restraining order against the Adams administration, writing, "City Hall and all other New York City government officials, officers, personnel and agencies are prohibited from taking any steps towards negotiating, signing or implementing any memoranda of understanding with the federal government regarding federal law enforcement presence on Department of Correction property." 

The order will stay in place until a hearing scheduled for Friday, after which she may extend, modify or vacate it.
