"Since the CDC’s Title 42 public health Order lifted and the Biden-Harris Administration’s comprehensive plan to manage the border went into full effect on May 12,
DHS has continued to experience a significant reduction in encounters at the Southwest Border.
As a result of planning and execution—
which combined stiffer consequences for unlawful entry with a historic expansion of lawful pathways and processes—
unlawful entries between ports of entry along the Southwest Border have decreased by more than 70 percent since May 11. DHS has overseen significant expansions in lawful pathways even as we have repatriated a significant number of migrants.
From May 12 to June 2, 2023, DHS repatriated over 38,400 noncitizens under Title 8 authorities, including single adults and families, to more than 80 countries. This includes over 1,400 noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who were returned to Mexico under Title 8 authorities—the first time in our bilateral history that the Government Mexico has allowed the repatriation of non-Mexican nationals at the border under Title 8 authorities.
Thousands more are being detained by CBP and ICE and processed by USCIS to assess their asylum claims under the new Circumvention of Lawful Pathways regulation.
Those found not to have a credible fear have been and will continue to be expeditiously removed."
