While the number of encounters initially dropped, apprehensions increased again in July. As \u2062a result, around 400 soldiers had \u2063their \u200dmission \u200dextended until the end of August.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOn July 19, the secretary authorized up to 400 \u2063active-duty troops to remain at\u200c the [southwest border] in support of DHS\/[Customs and Border Protection] \u200duntil Aug. \u200b31. It is my \u200bunderstanding that this authorization came as the result \u200cof a request from DHS\/CBP for an extension,\u201d the representative said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is important to\u200b note that these troops were not assigned any\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-connected-lobbying-outfit-teams-up-with-leading-chinese-law-firm\/\" title=\"Biden-Connected Lobbying Outfit Teams Up with Leading Chinese Law Firm\">law enforcement work<\/a>. Instead, they performed administrative \u200bduties\u200d to free up Customs and Border Protection personnel for field operations.<\/p>\n<p>The 1,100 troops have already begun returning to their bases\u200b this week.<\/p>\n<h3>Changes in Immigration Policies<\/h3>\n<p>The end of Title 42, a Trump-era authority that allowed the expulsion of millions of illegal migrants due to COVID-19 concerns, was expected to lead\u200c to an increase in\u2062 border crossings. \u2064However, after Title 42 expired on May 11, apprehensions dropped from 170,000 in May to under 100,000 in June, according to agency data.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-pulls-active-duty-troops-from-border-despite-immigrant-surge\/\" title=\"Biden Administration withdraws troops from border despite surge in immigration.\">illegal migrant encounters rose<\/a> to 130,000 \u2063in July, following the expansion of\u200c entry programs\u2064 like CBP One. The Biden administration defended \u2064the increase, stating that encounters remained lower than under Title \u200b42.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on National Guard Troops<\/h3>\n<p>The withdrawal of active-duty \u200dtroops does not affect the 2,300 National Guard troops already deployed \u200bto the border under federal orders.\u2064 Additionally, more red\u2062 states are sending National Guard troops to fill \u200dcapability gaps, including detection and \u2064monitoring,\u200d data entry, and\u200c warehouse support.<\/p>\n<p>DHS \u2064has not yet responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p><em>All content\u200d created by the Daily Caller \u2063News Foundation, an independent \u200cand nonpartisan newswire\u200c service, is available without charge to any\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/union-membership-plummets-to-record-low\/\" title=\"Union Membership Plummets to Record Low\">legitimate news publisher<\/a> that can provide\u200c a large audience.
