Border Patrol arrested roughly 72,000 migrants at the southwestern border in July, according to statistics published by Customs and Border Protection
The Trump administration has experimented with a range of strategies to deter migrants from trekking to the border, including a “remain in Mexico“ policy that requires some migrants to wait in that country while their bid for asylum is considered. Since that initiative launched in January, roughly 30,000 non-Mexican migrants have been forced to wait in Mexico pending the outcome of their cases, according to CBP officials.
The Trump administration also struck an agreement with Mexico to deploy thousands of troops from its newly formed National Guard to intercept migrants traveling north. The U.S. also negotiated a “safe third country“ asylum deal with Guatemala, though that pact must clear several procedural hurdles before it takes effect.
