TL;DR

Encounters with unauthorized migrants at the U.S. border dropped 9% in May compared to April, with a 17% decrease from the same month last year. This decline comes ahead of new asylum restrictions announced by President Biden, who is under pressure to show effective immigration control. The Tucson, San Diego, and El Paso sectors reported the highest numbers of encounters, mostly involving single adults and Mexican nationals. Civil rights groups have criticized the new restrictions, warning they could lead to more dangerous border crossings.
