Since U.S. President Joe Biden took office, federal immigration officials have noted a sharp decline in arrests and deportations of illegal immigrants. This is after the new administration rearranges migration enforcement in the U.S.
Biden has included a 100-day deportation moratorium on his key campaign promises, which means undoing previous policy in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE's arrests have declined by about two-thirds in March as compared with the monthly tallies made toward the last hitch of the Trump administration, The Wallstreet Journal report.
Meanwhile, deportations fell by about 50 percent, with immigrants in detention falling to 14,000 in March, compared to 56,000 in 2019.
