U.S. officials say the number of migrant families they encountered at the Southwest border continues to remain low following the lifting of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Title 42 public health order.
The Department of Homeland Security says unlawful entries between ports of entry along the border have decreased by more than 70% since May 11.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent leads a line of women to a van as they wait to apply for asylum between two border walls Thursday, May 11, 2023, in San Diego. Many of the hundreds of migrants between the walls that separate Tijuana, Mexico, with San Diego have been waiting for days to apply for asylum. Pandemic-related U.S. asylum restrictions, known as Title 42, are to expire May 11.
The top three nationalities, which accounted for nearly 70%, were Mexico at 1,200 encounters a day, Honduras at 520 encounters a day and Guatemala at 360 encounters a day.
