U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports showed arrests for illegal border crossing plummeted by 29% in June 2024 from May 2024 to a total of 83,536. This number is the lowest record of the Biden administration’s term thus far.
The decline in illegal border crossings is seemingly due to the increase in recent border security measures. The Biden administration recently enacted an Executive Order “suspending entry” of non-citizens crossing the border illegally and barring them from claiming asylum. CBP announced that over 70,000 individuals have been returned to 170+ countries since the executive order was announced last month, making 2024 the year of highest removals and returns since 2010.
These federal measures coupled with other local measures have been rapidly unfolding in an attempt to combat the rise in border crossings.
