The number of people sustaining serious injuries from falling off the U.S.-Mexico border wall in San Diego County has significantly declined following intensified security measures implemented by the Trump administration, according to reports from local hospitals.
The drop coincides with a national border emergency declared on January 22, which led to the deployment of military units along the border and a corresponding increase in security measures by the Mexican National Guard. Border Patrol statistics show a substantial decrease in attempted crossings in the San Diego Sector, with 1,650 reported encounters in February compared to 31,562 in February 2024.
