The number of people arrested by Border Patrol agents fell by 25% since President Biden announced new rules restricting asylum access two weeks ago.
The number of arrests by Border Patrol agents of people illegally crossing into the United States fell in May to the third-lowest of any month during the Biden presidency, while preliminary figures released Thursday show encounters with migrants falling even more in the roughly two weeks since the president announced new rules restricting asylum.
But the fact remains that our immigration system is not resourced for what we are seeing,” said Troy A. Miller, the acting head of CBP. The U.S. has also benefited from aggressive enforcement on the Mexican side of the border, where authorities have been working to prevent migrants from reaching the border. The figures are part of a range of data related to immigration, trade and drug seizures that is released monthly by CBP.
