detention of migrants on the US-Mexico border up 33 percent in July compared to the previous month, more than 132 thousand arrests, This was announced by a senior official of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The government attributed the increase to a “seasonal” trend and insisted that the measures taken by the Joe Biden government to control border migration were “effective”.

“The border is not open and, like every year, we see different changes in the flow of migrants arriving at the border,” the official said in a conversation with reporters.

On the other hand, the official said that more 44,000 migrants were able to report to ports of entry through appointments requested on the CBP One app.promoted by the government as the main legal way to apply for asylum at the border.
Only 8 out of 47 ports of entry on the southern borderwhich extends for 3141 km, attend appointments booked through the appwhose activities have been sharply criticized by human rights organizations, which consider it a way to limit access to asylum.
