The number of migrants stopped crossing the southern border is down slightly compared to this time last month, when crossings were at a 21-year high, according to data obtained by NBCNews
But, those officials say, Mexico may soon be reaching its capacity to stop Central American migrants from crossing its border with Guatemala, as well as reaching its capacity to receive those migrants sent back from the U.S.
The U.S. flights to the interior of Mexico include many migrants from Honduras and El Salvador, as part of an agreement the Biden administration struck with Mexico in order to enforce Title 42, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authority that allows the U.S. to expel asylum seekers during a pandemic.
The Biden administration had internally discussed ending Title 42 at the end of July, but as the number of migrants crossing the border rose and the number of Delta variant cases rose, the U.S. reversed course. Instead of ending Title 42, it invoked the authority to increase its expulsions of asylum seekers.Even as the total number of migrants stopped at the border has decreased, the daily number of those expelled has increased slightly — from 2,550 on Aug. 11 to 2,733 on Sept. 10.
CBP has not publicly released its August apprehension numbers, but they are expected to fall below July’s 21-year high.
