US Border Apprehensions Near 60-Year Low, Down from 2M Peak

US illegal border crossings from Mexico have fallen to approximately 98,708 apprehensions this year, nearing a 60-year low and sharply down from peaks exceeding 2 million under the Biden administration. The decline reflects policy shifts and enforcement changes, though the exact drivers and sustainability remain uncertain. This marks a significant reversal in migration trends, with implications for domestic politics and border policy.
