A Proclamation on Securing the Border is a presidential directive signed by U.S. president Joe Biden. Signed on June 4, 2024, the executive order allows the president to restrict the Mexico–United States border.[1] The proclamation implements a limit on illegal immigration, effective June 5.
By June 2024, illegal crossings reached a three-year low following four consecutive monthly drops, which senior U.S. officials attributed to increased enforcement between the United States and Mexico and the weather. They also attributed Biden's executive action as having a marked impact of reducing daily apprehensions to 2,000 from May's 3,800.[2]
