  • The number of migrants caught illegally crossing the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada fell in November, a senior U.S. border official told Reuters, part of a months-long trend that undercuts President-elect Donald Trump's claim illegal immigration is out of control.

Migrant arrests at the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada decreased in November, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection official. The decline was particularly notable at the U.S.-Mexico border, where encounters dropped by 14% from October, totaling about 191,000. This reduction comes after a peak in migrant crossings in September, influenced by seasonal trends and increased enforcement efforts. The official also mentioned that the number of migrants crossing the border from Canada into the U.S. was significantly lower, with only about 2,000 encounters in November. These figures reflect a broader trend of fluctuating migration patterns, influenced by various factors including policy changes, economic conditions, and international events.
