It appears there has not been a massive surge of migrants to the border before President Joe Biden leaves office, as some had predicted would happen.

Arrests are around the lowest levels they’ve been since 2020, when Biden took office.
Some had predicted migrants would rush to the border before Donald Trump takes office in January. The president-elect has promised to crack down on migration at the southern border.
Arizona’s Tucson corridor was the fourth-busiest zone for illegal crossings, according to the Associated Press.
