About this episode
This week marked one month since President Donald Trump took office, and as he promised on the campaign trail, he has made fighting illegal immigration one of his top priorities. While the administration is looking to deport illegal migrants from the US, there is also a significant push not to let them in or discourage them from even trying. Early data suggests that their efforts may be paying off as border crossings are on pace to be the lowest in the last 25 years, with January 2025 seeing the lowest number of crossings in four years. To understand what has changed at the U.S. south border, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke with the National Border Patrol Council President, Paul Perez, earlier this week. Perez explained why we have seen fewer crossings and arrests in recent weeks and shared what working at the border with the Trump administration in charge is like. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez, allowing you to hear even more of his take on what has changed at the border and why he is confident this trend will continue.
