The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a significant drop in migrant detentions. November saw 46,610 arrests at the southwest border entry points.
This marks a 76% decrease compared to the same month in 2023. CBP attributes this decline to asylum restrictions implemented by President Biden’s administration.
These measures, introduced on June 4 and strengthened in late September, aim to control migration flows. Troy A. Miller, acting CBP Commissioner, highlighted the impact of these efforts.
The total number of irregular migrant encounters in November reached 51,190. This figure includes those without CBP One app appointments. It represents an 18% decrease from October’s 61,420 encounters.
