Nearly half of all those detained attempting to gain entry in January (37,600) were single adults from Mexico, a 119% increase from the same month a year ago.
The total number of arrests average about 3,000 in January, and the Border Patrol indicated that one of the primary drivers of the increase is the perceived shift in U.S. policy under President Joe Biden, such as his executive order to halt construction of the border wall.
