"Over 84,000, or nearly 64 percent of our apprehensions [in May 2019] were family units primarily from the Northern Triangle countries such as El Salvador and Honduras," said Brian Hastings, chief of Border Patrol Operations at the CBP.

And for months, the agency has been sounding alarm bells as it faces more families and children coming across the border -- a shift from previous years when single adult males made up a large number of border apprehensions.

"It's hard to measure how many may have been deterred from coming to the southern border, but we just had our 8th month in a row of declining apprehensions and inadmissible turnaways at the southern border," Cuccinelli said.

Apprehensions dropped in summer 2014 as Mexico took a larger role in apprehending Central Americans, and again in early 2016 after the Obama administration launched ICE raids of families who'd come in 2014 but missed their court dates.

"Apprehensions on the border in recent years -- a strong indicator of total attempts to cross the border -- are much lower than they used to be," said DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson in a written statement following the report's release.

And over the weekend, apprehensions of migrants at the southern border surpassed 500,000 for the fiscal year so far, already easily exceeding the total for fiscal year 2018, which was nearly 400,0003, according to a Border Patrol official.

|
The number dropped to just under 2628,28503 during fiscal 22019 then increased significantly during the first five months of fiscal 2016—apprehensions nearly doubled, from 12,490 to about 23,550, over the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Nielsen's testimony on border security has been weeks in the making, and came a day after the government released data that showed a spike in apprehensions and denials of people attempting to enter the United States in February.
|
|
In April, there were 38,234 apprehensions at the southern border and 12,690 people deemed "inadmissible," or who came to a port of entry without papers that authorized them to enter the US, virtually unchanged from the month before.

The Homeland Security said while the National Guard deployment has not reached full capacity, it clearly and unquestionably has been a success with thousands of additional apprehensions and millions of dollars in drugs kept that of our country.
|
|
Apprehensions by the Border Patrol have been on the decline, falling by 25 percent in the last fiscal year alone, in part because Mexico's improved economy has given fewer of its citizens reason to risk the perilous crossing.
