US officials on Monday touted another month of low border crossings, citing recent executive action curbing asylum access at the US southern border, even as former President Donald Trump levels campaign attacks over the Biden administration’s handling of border security.

Donald Trump has spent months vowing "large deportations" in a second term, but on Friday, he suggested legal immigrants might face deportation, too.

The number of migrants arrested in August after attempting to enter the United States from Mexico remained at the lowest levels seen since the Trump administration following a turnaround after three years of record-high border crossings.
