Illegal border crossings remain near lowest levels seen under Biden administration

The number of migrants arrested in August after attempting to enter the United States from Mexico remained at the lowest levels seen since the Trump administration following a turnaround after three years of record-high border crossings.

Last month, Border Patrol agents across the southern border apprehended just over 58,000 people who crossed into the country illegally, slightly up from 56,399 in July, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics published Monday.
