Each named element saw concrete official action in Trump's second term. DHS formally reinstated the Migrant Protection Protocols ('Remain in Mexico') on January 21, 2025; a June 27, 2025 DHS-DOJ interim final rule created streamlined procedures to impose civil monetary penalties on aliens who improperly enter or fail to depart, with large-scale fines issued for the first time; and the budget law signed July 4, 2025 allocated roughly $45 billion for immigration detention plus about $30 billion for ICE hiring and operations, a historic expansion of the agency. Penalty increases came chiefly through enforcement of existing fines and higher fees rather than new statutory penalties, and the reinstated MPP has operated at a modest scale, but the promised actions occurred.
