Picture: AFP Washington. Nearly 35,000 individuals were arrested crossing the southern US border illegally last month, according to a source familiar with the latest arrest figures, CNN reports. In June, 34,911 people were arrested -- down from 40,334 the previous month. After seeing higher levels of illegal crossings this spring, the administration likely welcomed the news. But though the Trump administration has made cracking down on illegal immigration a priority, including a policy that had at one point resulted in separating undocumented families, it is nearly impossible to attribute the decline to any specific policy.

The two leaders discussed Syria at length. One source told CNN that Trump believes he can strike a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a so-called exclusion zone in southwest Syria that will allow the US to "get out ASAP." Trump said in March that the US would "be coming out of Syria like very soon.” However, senior military officials continued to say Trump had not given any sort of timeline and the US presence would be condition-based. Now Trump appears intent on reviving the issue and will have an opportunity to discuss the topic with Putin when the two meet in Helsinki, Finland, next month.
