As prosecutors have aggressively pursued immigration cases under zero tolerance, there’s evidence they’re focusing less on other types of crimes.
Cross-border drug prosecutions are going down, according to separate analyses by VOSD and the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research center at Syracuse University.

Prosecutions for human smuggling – typically a felony – are also down.
