Border enforcement actions dropped by nearly 65 percent in September, Mark Morgan, the acting commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency announced Tuesday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan has lauded the Trump administration's efforts to deter migration to the U.S. border, crediting President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies for overseeing a sharp decline in enforcement actions at the southern border in the month of September.
Celebrating the significant decline as an"unprecedented achievement," Morgan said September's numbers represented the"fourth month in a row of a steady decline," with the month's data representing an 18 percent drop from August's numbers."And why have we achieved these significant results?" Morgan asked."President Trump."
Indeed, the policy has prevented as many as 48,000 asylum seekers from entering the U.S.'s immigration detention system, forcing them to instead wait in Mexican border towns, where human rights organizations have repeatedly warned their safety could be at risk. Yet, if there has been a consistent"downward trend" in border enforcement actions, it begs the question of why CBP still requires the assistance of thousands of military members at the U.S. border.
Under the renewal, as many as 5,500 service members have been given the green light to continue missions along the U.S.-Mexico border. It is unclear whether that number includes both National Guard and active-duty troops.
