- Border crossings by undocumented migrants at the southern border have decreased by almost 70% after the immigration policy Title 42 ended in May, according to data released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday.
- The data shows that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents have encountered an average of 3,700 undocumented migrants at ports of entry every day, according to the statistics. The figure is significantly low compared to the 10,000 undocumented migrants that CBP officials were encountering every day before the end of Title 42.
