President Trump pumped up the barrier he’s building along the US-Mexico border, pronouncing it “the powerful Trump wall” in a Saturday tweet.

“Illegal crossing are dropping as more and more Wall is being completed!” he crowed.

A federal appeals court handed the administration a victory Thursday, releasing $3.6 billion in military funding for the construction of new border walls.

On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security announced the completion of the 100th mile of new border wall, which went up in Yuma, Arizona.

Arrests at the US border dropped for the seventh straight month in December, Customs and Border Protection announced last week – thanks mainly to the “Remain in Mexico” program that keeps Central American asylum seekers in Mexican custody until their court cases can be heard.
