Number of migrant family encounters at border surges by 49% in July, few are expelled

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : In a release, CBP noted that the numbers encountered are just below the peak of 88,587 in May 2019 during that year's border crisis, and that the total number of family unit encounters is still lower than the same period in FY 2019.
52% : Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt reports on DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' trip to the southern border.
46% : The number of migrant family units encountered at the southern border increased by nearly 50% in July, with only a fraction of them being removed under Title 42 health protections -- part of a broader surge in numbers that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has called "unsustainable."
