While the numbers of arrests dipped slightly compared to July, they represent an increase from August 2019 when numbers had spiked before the coronavirus pandemic reduced migration around the world. Border arrests have hovered around 20-year highs in recent months.
U.S. border agents are still rapidly expelling almost all single adults and some families encountered at the border under a COVID-19 related order implemented by Trump and kept largely in place by Biden. Agents have also encountered more repeat crossers in the past year compared with recent years. Hundreds of migrants waited under the International Bridge between Del Rio, Texas, and Ciudad Acuña in Mexico on Wednesday afternoon. They hung clothes to dry along fences and protected themselves under bushes from 97 degree Fahrenheit heat. Two Customs and Border Protection officials said the people included Haitians, Venezuelans, Cubans and Africans, including Congolese.
