According to U.S. authorities, there were approximately 46,700 arrests for illegal border crossings from Mexico in November, marking a 17% decrease from the previous month. This figure represents a significant drop from the record high of nearly 250,000 arrests in December and raises questions about anticipated increases prior to the upcoming presidential inauguration.
On the Canadian border, there were about 700 arrests in November, down from 1,283 in October. These preliminary figures were shared by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official who chose to remain anonymous.
