It is specified that in March last year, 137 thousand people crossed the border from Mexico, while in 2025 this figure was only 7 thousand.

"In February, approximately 8,300 illegal migrants crossed the border, the lowest figure in at least 25 years," the newspaper notes.

The Pentagon confirmed to Izvestia the use of C-17 military aircraft for this purpose - one hour of their operation costs more than $19 thousand.

On March 16, the District of Columbia Court ordered a halt to the mass deportations of migrants from the United States, carried out on the basis of the "Alien Enemies Act" of 1798.
