    Several cities in northern Mexico have seen a major drop in the arrival of migrants seeking to reach the US border since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.  

    The Comarca Lagunera region, which consists of five cities in the state of Coahuila and 10 in the state of Durango, experienced a 95 to 97 percent drop in migrants from the south trying to reach the US toward the end of last year, Milenio reported.

    During the first couple of months of 2024, officials normally encountered groups of up to 800 migrants passing through the area, said Raul Meraz, undersecretary for the region.

    Meraz recalled that the biggest group in December – the month after Trump was elected on a platform of strict border security and the deportation of illegal migrants – consisted of 120 migrants. 

    The group was spotted at an out-of-service train station in Gómez Palacio, more than 300 miles from the US border, and received assistance from multiple government agencies.

    Erick López and his family were among the dwindling number of migrants who reached the region.

    They left their home in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa in hopes of crossing into America.

    ‘At first the idea was to cross to the other side, but when things got worse with Donald Trump, we decided to stay because I came with my wife and [three] children,’ López told Milenio.

    To support his loved ones, López camps out in the city of Torreón with his two oldest children, seeking donations on a street. 

    His wife remains with their youngest child, a baby, at a residence in neighboring Gómez Palacio whose owner has to let them stay there because he had nobody to look after the property.

    ‘A man is lending us a place to stay. We met him right here [while panhandling],’ López recalled.

    ‘He told me that he had already seen me a few days ago and he told me that his house was not abandoned, but that he had no one to take care of it. Thank God, the people are very good, the police here too. In the south of Mexico, they have robbed us, but not here.’

    María Martínez, coordinating director of the Jesus Torres Fraire Day Center for Migrants in Torreón, said the site normally allows migrants to stay for a couple of nights.

    But that has changed as migrants fear being detained by Mexico’s National Guard.

    ‘…[W]e think that what they are trying to do now is obtain a legal stay,’ Martínez told Milenio.

    She attributed to the slowdown in migrant arrivals to the increased presence of the military.

    ‘They no longer want to try and are giving themselves up,’ she said. ‘The migratory flow is changing. If we have eight migrants, there are shelters that don’t have even one and you wonder, what is happening, why do people keep leaving their countries?’

    Immigration figures provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection showed that there were 61,465 interdictions of migrants attempting to cross the border last month, a sharp decrease from December 2024, when 96,048 incidents were registered.

    Data showed that in the three weeks before Trump took office, at least 2,000 apprehensions were reported daily. 

    In comparison, an average of 786 migrant interdictions were reported following his return to the White House.

    According to data obtained by DailyMail.com from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration, 12,254 Mexicans and 3,334 people of other nationalities have been deported to Mexico from the U.S. since Trump took office.
