WASHINGTON - About 64,000 people were detained or turned back at the southwest border in August, down 22% from July and down 56% from a high mark in May, U.S. border officials said on Monday, citing greater cooperation from Mexico in cracking down on Central American migrants.
With President Donald Trump’s hardline anti-immigration policy shaping up as an issue in his 2020 re-election campaign, Mark Morgan, the acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, announced the statistics at a White House briefing. Washington received Mexican pledges to cooperate after threatening to impose tariffs on its southern neighbor and major trading partner.
Earlier on Monday, a federal judge in California ruled that an injunction against a restrictive Trump rule on asylum-seekers should apply nationwide.The rule, unveiled on July 15, requires most immigrants who want asylum in the United States to first seek asylum in a third country they had traveled through on their way.
