There are now 1,250 appointment slots to seek asylum at eight land crossings with Mexico through the CBP One app, up from 1,000 previously and 740 in early May.

Experts predicted a huge influx of migrants when the Title 42 Covid ban ended in May. Instead, crossings have hit new lows for a number of reasons

After reviewing surveillance footage from May 15, the US Customs and Border Protection said the young boy was dropped by someone who was entering the country illegally, and several others were seen crossing over into the U.S.

State and federal health officials are warning U.S. residents to cancel planned surgeries in a Mexico border city after five people from Texas who got procedures there came back and developed suspected cases of fungal meningitis. One of them died, officials said.
