In April , Border Patrol agents recorded roughly 8,400 apprehensions of migrants who had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without authorization.

Last time Border Patrol averaged fewer than 9,000 monthly apprehensions along the southern border over a year was in the late 1960s .

The number of illegal crossings during Mr. Trump 's first three full months in office represents a seismic change.
