Border arrests exceed 50,000 for third consecutive month in a blow to Trump's immigration crackdown
The figure indicates that illegal crossings remain high despite escalating enforcement tactics enacted by the Trump administration that include separating migrant parents from their children.
This spring, such arrests have reached their highest levels since President Trump took office, leaving the president furious with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other aides who he believes are failing to fulfill his orders to stop the migrants.
The border arrest figures have long served as a metric for illegal immigration flows, but the Trump administration has treated their monthly publication as a barometer for the success of the president’s border security efforts.
