Border Illegal Crossings
FILE – A family of five claiming to be from Guatemala and a man stating he was from Peru, in pink shirt, walk through the desert after crossing the border wall in the Tucson Sector of the U.S.-Mexico border, Aug. 29, 2023, in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument near Lukeville, Ariz. On Monday, Nov. 27, Customs and Border Protection said it was closing one of two bridges to vehicles in Eagle Pass, Texas, a town of about 30,000 people that, for a while last year, was the busiest corridor for illegal crossings. It is also reducing vehicle entries in Lukeville, a remote desert crossing that has become a major migration route in recent months. (AP Photo/Matt York, File)
