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

Published



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.
