Shelters on the southern U.S. border and some major cities that were inundated with migrants a year ago say they are seeing sharp declines in migrants seeking refuge, some reporting drops as high as 60% in just the past few months.

Until now, migrants in the U.S. did not have to declare their immigration status in order to access medical care in hospitals or for their children to attend school. In the past week, however, two proposals from two Republican-run states have come to light that would end that right to anonymity.

State Representative Ernie Yarbrough, R-Trinity, has pre-filed the Laken Riley Act for the 2025 Legislative Session — a new bill that looks to expand the jurisdiction of local police allowing them to arrest individuals based on immigration status.

Immigrants trying to reach the United States are being tricked by organized crime gangs into buying fake appointments they believe are through the official Customs and Border Protection app.

The Biden administration has paused a migrant sponsorship policy it set up to discourage illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border due to concerns about fraud among sponsors.

Texas and Oklahoma are among the states that have tried to implement their own immigration laws in recent years, with state lawmakers claiming they have no choice because of federal government inaction on the border.

83,536 apprehensions were made in June, the lowest since Biden took office. The Border Patrol has made fewer than 1,800 apprehensions per day over the past week, a major decline following the implementation of new asylum restrictions that significantly cut humanitarian protections for those who cross the border illegally. Migrant encounters along the southern border are down 55% since the restrictions took effect seven weeks ago, according to new data from the Department of Homeland Security. DHS officials credit a dual-track approach that balances increased enforcement measures along with the expansion of new options for legal migration. The measures, announced at the beginning of last month, all but banned asylum for those who crossed into the U.S. illegally. Meanwhile, at U.S. ports of entry, the administration continues to admit a limited number of pre-screened migrants for asylum processing.

A judge on Wednesday rejected Texas’ attempts to compel a deposition from one of the largest migrant shelters on the U.S.-Mexico border, dealing a new legal setback to a widening Republican-led investigation into migrant aid groups.
