Recent data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows a notable decrease in arrests for illegal border crossings from Mexico into the United States during the month of April. The number of migrants apprehended dropped by over 6% compared to the previous month, marking the fourth lowest month of the Biden administration.
This decline has been attributed to increased enforcement efforts in Mexico, particularly in areas where migrants commonly board freight trains. Mexican authorities have imposed restrictions to limit daily illegal crossings to no more than 4,000 individuals, a significant reduction from the peak of over 10,000 Border Patrol arrests per day in December.
