WASHINGTON – United States authorities saw a record high number of migrants at the nation’s southern border in April, with data being release just weeks before the administration is set to end a Trump-era public health order that made it difficult for people to seek asylum.
Customs and Border Protection officials encountered 234,088 individuals at the United States’ southern border in April, an uptick from March and the highest total for one month in 22 years, according to data published Tuesday. The data includes encounters with individuals who tried to enter legally through ports of entry, as well as those who tried to enter illegally between ports of entry.
