Administration points to new data showing steep reductions in migration levels nationwide during 2025.

The White House on Thursday pointed to newly reported data indicating significant declines in net immigration across major U.S. metropolitan areas during 2025.
Citing a report referenced by The New York Times, administration officials emphasized that net immigration fell in every major metro area over the past year. The findings were amplified through a post by the White House-aligned Rapid Response 47 account, which shared a map illustrating the scale of the reductions nationwide.
The map showed broad regions of the country experiencing declines exceeding 50 percent, with particularly steep drops in several large cities. New York City recorded a 65 percent decrease in net immigration, while Chicago saw a 62 percent decline. Dallas reported a 52 percent drop, Denver experienced a 72 percent decrease, and Los Angeles saw immigration levels fall by 67 percent. El Paso posted one of the most dramatic changes, with a reported 95 percent reduction.
The data was presented by administration officials as evidence of the impact of immigration policies implemented since President Donald Trump returned to office. The graphic circulated by the White House depicted widespread declines across both coastal and interior regions of the country.
The administration has made immigration enforcement a central focus of its policy agenda, with Trump previously stating a goal of deporting millions of individuals residing in the country unlawfully over the course of his term.
Officials did not provide additional details alongside the map regarding methodology or underlying data sources beyond referencing the broader reporting, but described the figures as reflecting a significant shift in migration patterns over the past year.
