The data indicates a possible end to a five-month decline in arrests for illegal border crossings, expected to rise slightly from July's near four-year lows.

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized the importance of congressional support for failed legislation aimed at reforming asylum processes and enhancing border resources amid low arrest numbers.
Despite declining arrests, the harsh critique from Republicans persists, especially regarding the administration’s handling of immigration reform and asylum processing.
