Unlawful border crossings have been progressively decreasing since the Biden administration implemented an executive in June, making it more difficult for migrants to seek asylum and remain in the country. However, as Donald Trump's second term looms, and with it the prospect of mass deportation for those inside and closed borders for those seeking to get it, Homeland Security is currently expecting a considerable rise in crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The potential scenario has led sources inside of the DHS to voice concerns around everything from lack of human resources to shortage of bed space.
