Arrests of illegal immigrants at Mexico border at lowest level since Trump

Published July 1, 2024 5:45pm ET



The number of illegal immigrants arrested while attempting to enter the United States from Mexico dropped last month to the lowest level since the Trump administration, a big win for President Joe Biden four months ahead of the election, the Washington Examiner has learned.

Across the 2,000-mile southern border, just under 84,000 illegal immigrants were arrested in June, according to a copy of federal data leaked to the Washington Examiner, which would be the lowest figure since former President Donald Trump left office in January 2021.
