evidence: Trump claimed the chart shows how his administration successfully controlled immigration at the southern border and how President Joe Biden reversed some of the progress made during his presidency. [...] "As this chart shows … the border was getting increasingly out of control in the months before the election in 2020. By December of 2020, border apprehensions were the highest level for December since 1999, and within days after President Biden taking office, the Mexican governor of the state of Tamaulipas told DHS that they could no longer expel Central American families with children under the age of seven across the border in south Texas," Reichlin-Melnich told ABC News. [...] CBP recorded 130,419 encounters along the southern border overall, a roughly 40,000 drop since May. That overall number includes migrants who made appointments at ports of entry, others seeking entry through lawful pathways established by the Biden administration.
