Border arrests top 1 million after setting 20-year record for June
U.S. Border Patrol has made more than 1 million arrests of migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border since last October, after June set a 20-year record for that month, according to government data released on Friday.
Why it matters: The surge in migrants attempting to cross the border has continued — inciting Republicans to blame the Biden administration, while Democrats and immigration advocates pressure the president to undo strict Trump-era enforcement policies.
By the numbers: The last time Border Patrol made more than 1 million arrests was in 2006, according to agency data, and there are still three months left to report for this fiscal year. Agents made more than 178,000 arrests in June.
- An uptick in people attempting to cross the border over and over again has contributed to the high numbers. Repeat crossings have been driven in part by the continued use of a Trump-era public health order, called Title 42, to immediately return border-crossers to Mexico, experts and officials have said.
- Despite 1 million arrests, CBP officials said in a release that 455,000 unique individuals have been encountered by border officials this fiscal year — lower than at the same point in 2019. 34% of people encountered last month had tried to cross at least one other time in the past year.
- The majority of crossings are still single adults, most of whom are subject to Title 42.
- The Biden administration has been under pressure to end the use of the policy, and is considering doing so as soon as this month. The administration stopped applying the rule to unaccompanied kids and has allowed other vulnerable migrants to receive humanitarian exceptions.
The number of unaccompanied kids caught attempting to cross in June was down compared to March and April of this year, but the number remains higher than any other month recorded of any other year.
- The government has struggled to handle the influx of kids, thousands of whom earlier this year were forced to wait in border patrol facilities unsuited for minors for longer than the legal 72 hours.
- The agency in charge of their care has since set up multiple temporary shelters to hold more kids, and have picked up the pace of releasing them to family members or other sponsors in the U.S.
- Still, the number of kids in Border Patrol custody has creeped back up to over 1,000 as of data released on Thursday. The administration managed to get the number down to a low of 421 in mid-May.
Migrants coming from nations other than Mexico, Guatemala, Hondura and El Salvador rose yet again last month.
- More than 46,000 arrests of migrants were made from these more distant countries, up from 11,600 in February.
Between the lines: Natural disasters, economic devastation, gang violence, political oppression and perceptions that President Biden would be more welcoming than his predecessor have driven people to flee their homes for the U.S.
COVID-19 cases surge across U.S. due to Delta variant
As vaccination rates dwindle and the Delta variant becomes a growing public health concern, COVID cases appear to be surging across the U.S.
The big picture: "Twenty-four states have seen an uptick of at least 10% in Covid-19 cases over the past week," CNN writes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says between June 20 and July 3, the Delta variant accounted for more than 51% of all news cases.
Driving the news: Kansas reported the most number of new cases in over three months, AP reports. The city of Independence issued a public health advisory Friday, saying cases and hospitalizations were growing throughout the Kansas City metro and the state of Missouri due to the Delta variant.
- In California, Los Angeles County officials said they saw a 165% increase in new cases week over week.
- Arizona reported its biggest daily increase in two months with more than 900 new cases on Friday.
- Mississippi health officials acknowledged a "modest" increase in hospitalizations, mostly driven by the Delta variant, AP notes.
What they're saying: "We should think about the Delta variant as the 2020 version of Covid-19 on steroids," former White House COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt told CNN on Wednesday.
- "It's twice as infectious. Fortunately, unlike 2020, we actually have a tool that stops the Delta variant in its tracks: It's called vaccine," he added.
- Slavitt noted the variant presented a "very little threat" to fully vaccinated individuals.
Zoom out: Virus cases have ticked up around the world. The United Kingdom saw its highest case count since January as the disease spreads among younger age groups. On Friday, the government reported more than 35,700 new cases, the highest number since January.
- The Netherlands reimposed coronavirus restrictions on Friday amid a surge of new cases, which the government said were driven by the Delta variant.
- In Bangkok, health authorities reported more than 9,200 new cases and 72 new deaths. "More than 90% of the cases and deaths have occurred since early April," AP writes.
