The steady increase in migrant arrivals, which has been building over the past several months, is driven by a growing number of children and families, especially from Central America. Many of the individuals surrender to border officials and request asylum in the United States because they fear violence and persecution in their home countries.
Carla Provost, the top U.S. Border Patrol official, called the situation an “unprecedented border security and humanitarian crisis along our southwest border” in testimony to a Senate committee on Wednesday, echoing previous statements by Trump administration officials. Border agents apprehended 98,977 people at the southern border in April, according to the data, a nearly 7 percent increase from the number apprehended in March and the highest one-month figure since April 2007, when more than 104,000 people were apprehended.
