In the three weeks since President Joe Biden announced sweeping restrictions on asylum claims, the number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border unlawfully has dropped by more than 40 percent, administration officials said Wednesday.
The latest Department of Homeland Security report found that U.S. agents have taken, in average, fewer than 2,400 migrants into custody per day over the past week, down from more than 3,800 at the beginning of June.
