Migrant encounters at the U.S. southwest border rose about 25% in March from February, according to new data. This month-to-month increase, however, still means crossings are far below levels seen in recent years.
A new report from Customs & Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security showed that U.S. Border Patrol recorded 8,268 apprehensions along the southwest border in March, up from 6,603 in February.
