The Biden administration says U.S. authorities have seen a 97% decline in illegal border crossings by migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is defending her decision to continue former Gov. Doug Ducey’s program to transport migrants out of border communities.

Officials from Arizona have called on a politically diverse delegation of senators to craft immigration reform amid an increase in migrant arrivals that can overwhelm local resources.

Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador says he would consider accepting more migrants than previously announced under President Joe Biden’s plan to turn away people who cross illegally into the United States.

Former Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s border barrier of shipping containers has been largely dismantled just in time for a new Democratic administration, costing tens of millions of dollars over just a few months while they were set up and taken down again.

Russell Pearce was the lead sponsor of SB 1070, which required law enforcement officers to ask about suspects' immigration status if they had reason to believe they were in the U.S. illegally.

President Joe Biden says the U.S. will immediately begin turning away Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans who cross the border from Mexico illegally.

It will be his first visit to the border since taking office.

U.S. authorities say illegal border crossings by Cubans and Nicaraguans rose sharply in November while overall migration flows were little changed from October.

The announcement marks the end of the divisive border security effort that has faced months of protests and legal challenges.
