Mexico Border Arrests Hit Lowest Level of Biden-Harris Administration

July figures show a 30% drop in border arrests, raising the possibility of lifting the temporary asylum ban.

  • Border arrests in July decreased to approximately 57,000 from 83,536 in June.
  • This marks the lowest number of arrests since September 2020, during the pandemic.
  • The Biden-Harris administration's asylum halt could end if daily arrests stay below 1,500 on a seven-day average.
  • Immigrant advocacy groups are legally challenging the current asylum restrictions.
  • San Diego and Tucson are the busiest corridors for illegal crossings.
