Recently, it was made public the number of migrants from countries such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Haiti and Cuba who arrived in the United States through the humanitarian parole program by mid-April of this year. Senior Biden administration officials have highlighted that more than 435,000 people have been safely and orderly admitted through this program, initially intended only for Venezuelans but later expanded to other nationalities.

In addition, about 547,000 migrants were able to schedule appointments to present themselves legally at ports of entry into the United States using the CBP One app, launched by the Department of Homeland Security in January 2023 to facilitate legal arrivals at the border.

On the other hand, since the end of Title 42 in May 2023, immigration authorities have reported that more than 690,000 people have been expelled or returned to more than 170 countries as part of the policy to strengthen against irregular migration. This included more than 105,000 people in family units, mostly due to irregular crossings of the border with Mexico.

Despite this, U.S. officials have observed a significant reduction in encounters with migrants at the border compared to previous years. They attributed this trend to the measures implemented at the border and the law enforcement efforts undertaken by both the country's government and its allies in Mexico and regions further south.

The officials highlighted the importance of regional collaboration and expressed optimism regarding the meetings in Guatemala on migration, to which Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently traveled.
