EXCLUSIVE — The Biden administration achieved a major feat in May as the number of immigrants arrested for entering the United States illegally from Mexico dropped to the second-lowest number in nearly 40 months at a time of the year when crossings typically spike.

Internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection data leaked to the Washington Examiner revealed that between 117,000 and 122,000 immigrants were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents along the southern border last month.
