Migrant Apprehensions Remain Low on U.S. Southern Border Amid Immigration Deal Discussions
Migrant apprehensions on the U.S. Southern border continue to remain low, despite a small spike reported in the Tucson border patrol sector. The overall numbers, however, are not significant compared to the high influx of migrants observed in mid-December. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attributes this decline to increased enforcement efforts by Mexican officials on the migrant routes and deportations before reaching the U.S. border.
