In July 2024, U.S. Border Patrol recorded fewer than 60,000 migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border, the lowest since September 2020. This marks a significant decline from December's peak of 250,000. Contributing factors include President Biden's June proclamation limiting asylum access and increased enforcement by Mexican authorities. The average daily illegal crossings are nearing 1,500, prompting discussions on ongoing asylum restrictions.
