US Border Arrests Hit Three-Year Low in March Amid Increased Enforcement

Arrests for illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border decreased significantly in March, marking the lowest figures during President Biden's tenure.

March saw a notable decline in migrant encounters at the US-Mexico border, with 137,480 arrests reported, the lowest since the start of Biden's presidency.
The decrease in arrests is attributed to heightened enforcement efforts by both the US and Mexico, including Mexico's detention of migrants to discourage northward travel.
Texas continues its own border security measures under Operation Lone Star, resulting in over 507,200 apprehensions and significant criminal arrests.
New pathways for legal entry into the US have been expanded, with over 547,000 people admitted through the CBP One system since January.
Despite the current decrease, border officials remain vigilant, prepared for potential increases in migration and criminal activities.
