Border Patrol head touts progress on border wall
Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan says 71 miles of border wall are complete with 164 miles under construction; William La Jeunesse reports from Los Angeles.
Border officials apprehended just over 52,000 migrants at the southern border in September -- another drop in numbers for the fourth consecutive month -- as administration officials said Tuesday the numbers are proof that policies at the border are working.
Total encounters, making up those apprehended or turned away, were 52,546 in September, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced. It marks a drop of almost 65 percent from the 144,000 encountered in May, and an 18 percent decline from August, when just over 64,000 were apprehended.
