"US Reopens Selected Southern Border Ports as Immigration Declines"

The Biden administration is set to reopen four ports of entry at the southern U.S. border that were closed due to a surge in migrant arrivals. The ports in Texas, California, and Arizona will resume operations, coinciding with a recent decrease in migrant encounters, which officials attribute to increased enforcement by Mexico and seasonal trends. The reopening follows intense pressure and negotiations over border funding, with President Biden urging Congress to provide the necessary funds for border protection.
