Trump pledged to clamp down on illegal immigration
As North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher pointed out earlier, Donald Trump has made tackling undocumented migrants in the US a key priority.
One of his first actions in his second term was to suspend the entry of all undocumented migrants.
Border patrol agents have been told to turn people away without granting them asylum hearings.
Trump also moved quickly to expand fast-track deportations for undocumented migrants who have already entered the country.
For those still in the US, Trump announced plans for a national register of undocumented migrants, warning that anyone who doesn't sign up could face prosecution.
Last month, the US government also offered migrants in the country illegally a payment of $1,000 and paid travel if they “self-deport” and choose to leave.
