Read full article: Border arrests jumped 36 percent in May despite Trump emergency crackdown

According to new U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures, the number of migrants detained by U.S. authorities at the Mexico border rose 36 percent in May. CBP took 23,118 migrants into custody last month, up from 16,966 in April, the figures show. The Trump administration argues the emergency measures have aided in preventing a wider coronavirus outbreak by limiting the number of detainees held in cramped border cells. Since the implementation of the emergency orders in late March, nearly 43,000 migrants have been subjected to the rapid-expulsion proceedings, according to CBP figures. Trumps emergency restrictions have all but closed the United States to border crossers fleeing persecution, records show.
