CIS: Interior Enforcement Linked To 1.6M Drop In Illegal Immigrants Jan–Jul 2025

Breitbart reports on a CIS analysis of BLS/CPS data showing a 2.2 million decline in the U.S. foreign-born population from January–July 2025, with CIS estimating roughly 1.6 million fewer unauthorized immigrants. CIS attributes the change largely to intensified interior enforcement and falling net migration and suggests labor-market benefits for less-educated U.S. workers. Editors should verify with BLS and DHS and monitor regional enforcement and wage impacts.
