Pres. Trump denies changes to senior DHS leadership are part of a systemic purge: “I never said I'm cleaning house. I don't know who came with it.'
Trump appeared to suggest that the zero-tolerance policy served as a strong deterrent to families crossing the border illegally.
“I'm the one who stopped it,” Trump said. “Once you don't have it, that's why you see many more people coming. They are coming like it's a picnic.” Border officers stopped more than 103,000 undocumented migrants attempting to cross the southern border in March, the majority of which were families and unaccompanied children surrendering to agents after crossing illegally.
Newly released data by Customs and Border Protection, which confirms record-setting projections, indicates another sharp increase of migrants attempting to cross in recent months. The total number of migrants stopped in February was roughly 76,000, and about 58,000 were stopped in January. More than 11,000 families have been released since the agency started the practice last month, according to the agency, while hundreds of agents processing legal travelers at ports of entry have been reassigned to assist border patrol in managing the migrant flows causing backups and delays for legal travelers.
