There were nearly 95,000 apprehensions on the US-Mexico border last month, down about 28% from 132,887 in May -- the highest month in more than a decade
. Despite the drop, this June was much higher than the same time last year, when there were 34,089 apprehensions. The numbers are in line with forecasts from acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who said Friday that it appeared there would be a 25% decrease in June numbers of migrants crossing at the US-Mexico border.
On June 8, in the wake of a tariff treat from President Donald Trump, the US and Mexico signed a deal, which included an agreement by Mexico to take"unprecedented steps" to increase enforcement and curb irregular migration. Border Patrol officials in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas last week said Mexico's efforts were having an effect on the numbers, but were skeptical it would have lasting impact, citing previous initiatives carried out by the Mexican government.
