Since President Joe Biden’s Presidential Proclamation and additional Interim Final Rule on June 4th, border encounters have decreased by more than 50%, according to new statistics shared by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Monday.
“These executive actions have led to a significant increase in the percentage of migrants removed from the United States and a decrease in the number of people released pending their removal proceedings, as explained in recent DHS Fact Sheets from June and July,” CBP explained.
They say DHS removed or returned more than 131,000 individuals to more than 140 countries and total removals and returns over the past year exceed removals and returns in any fiscal year since 2010.
“The data published today by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that since President Biden announced new, decisive executive actions to secure the border on June 4, encounters between ports of entry have dropped significantly and remain at their lowest level in years – July and August saw the lowest encounter levels since September 2020. Encounters in August 2024 were 68% lower than August 2023 and have decreased by more than 50% since President Biden announced the executive actions,” White House spokesperson Angelo Fernández Hernández said in a statement sent to PoliticusUSA.
