Arrests at the U.S. southern border continued to decrease in April, as the Biden administration steps up its efforts to stem the flow of migrants reaching the country during the electoral year.

Authorities said that apprehensions dropped 6% compared to March, a figure that becomes more significant when considering it also bucks the trend of seasonal increases seen during the spring.
