The Biden administration’s new limits on asylum introduced in June, combined with a coordinated crackdown with Mexico, led to a significant reduction in the number of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The executive order from the Texas governor will require these hospitals to track the cost of care for undocumented migrants, in order for the state to push for federal reimbursement.

The number of migrants trying to cross the southern U.S. border illegally has gone down significantly. But migrants still face long waits using a government app for asylum claims.

Wednesday’s ruling is the second time a Texas judge has ruled against the attorney general for investigating shelters helping migrants.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the state’s Supreme Court on Monday to allow his office to continue its efforts to shutter Annunciation House, an El Paso-based shelter network that assists asylum seekers and other migrants.

Over two hot days, the Sunland Park Fire Department responded to 10 calls to help migrants overcome by heat illness. Firefighters say heat emergencies are increasingly common along the border.

Homeland Security says border arrests are falling to January 2021 averages

Migrants in Mexico said they’ve been shot by the rounds, which leave bruises and disperse a chemical irritant. The state says Guard members are trained not to aim directly at people.

President Biden’s executive order limits the number of unauthorized migrants seeking asylum when border crossings top 2,500 a day. The ACLU and an El Paso immigrant rights organization sued to block the order.

New White House measure will go into effect if more than 2,500 migrants cross illegally per day.
