Trump Administration Reports 15 Months Without Border Releases Amid Declining Apprehensions
The Trump administration reported 15 consecutive months without releasing undocumented migrants at the US border, citing stricter enforcement and record-low crossings. In July, Border Patrol apprehended 9,295 individuals along the southwest border, a 6% decrease from June, with nationwide apprehensions down 1%. Officials highlighted that these figures are significantly lower than averages during the Biden administration and historical peaks. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott credited clear policies and enforcement for these results.
