Border apprehensions drop as immigration crackdown continues

The number of migrants encountered at the southern U.S. border declined in September for the fourth straight month, Trump administration officials said Tuesday. Border officials came across about 52,000 migrants at the border last month — down about 65% from the peak in May of about 144,000, Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said. The news will likely be greeted with glee by President Donald Trump, who has used the monthly tally as a benchmark for whether his hardline immigration policies are working.
