The number of children traveling alone who were picked up at the Mexican border by U.S. immigration authorities likely hit an all-time high in July, a U.S. official says. Crossings usually slow during stifling summer heat.
The sharp increases from June were striking because crossings usually slow during stifling — and sometimes fatal — summer heat.
The activity was overwhelmingly concentrated in the Border Patrol’s Del Rio and Rio Grande Valley sectors in south Texas. “Title 42 is not an immigration authority, but a public health authority, and its continued use is dictated by CDC and governed by the CDC’s analysis of public health factors,” the department said in a statement.
Since late March, the ACLU has been working with advocates to choose particularly vulnerable migrants stuck in Mexico for the U.S. government to allow in to seek asylum. ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said the exemptions will continue for another week.
