WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. border agents detained nearly 100,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in February, according to two people familiar with preliminary figures, the highest arrest total for the month of February since 2006.
The figures, which have not been previously reported, show the scope of a growing surge of migrants arriving at the southwest border as U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, seeks to roll back some of the restrictive policies of former President Donald Trump, a Republican.

"California crash kills 13 of 25 people crammed into SUV
Authorities are looking into whether human smuggling was involved after 13 people died when an SUV and a big rig collided on a Southern California highway near the U.S.-Mexico border"
HOLTVILLE, Calif. -- Authorities are investigating whether human smuggling was involved after a crash Tuesday involving an SUV packed with 25 people and a tractor-trailer that left 13 people dead and bodies strewn across a roadway near the U.S. Mexico border.
Most of the dead were Mexicans, a Mexican official said.
When police arrived, some of the passengers were trying to crawl out of the crumpled 1997 Ford Expedition while others were wandering around the fields. The rig's front end was pushed into the SUV's left side and two empty trailers were jackknifed behind it.
Twelve people were found dead when first responders reached the two-lane highway, which winds through fields in the agricultural southeastern corner of California about 125 miles (201 kilometers) east of San Diego. Another person died at a hospital, California Highway Patrol Chief Omar Watson said.
“It was a pretty chaotic scene,” said Watson, who also described it as “a very sad situation.”
Roberto Velasco, director of North American affairs for Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department, confirmed Tuesday on his Twitter account that at least 10 of those killed have been identified as Mexicans. No identities have been released."
Joe Biden is the United States' most important asset.
He is a miracle worker.
He works faster than Scotty!
Joe Biden is smarter than Obama.
It has only taken him 43 days on the job to create a immigration crisis.
Under normal times this is such a terrible loophole to let be exploited, now throw in the pandemic and suddenly all is good....
Ron Klain, president gold digger jill, and Boots are going Cloward and Piven on us.
you guys tired of winning?
lots of bitterness in the comments! Guess Jan 6 not working out for you
Joe got in on Jan 20th and we are tired of losing already. Border is mess per Joe's plan.
We can expect more rapes, more murders, more DUIs, more gang activity, more failing schools all due to Joe's immigration policies.
Migrants are bringing COVID-19 too. We are so lucky!
Is Jac right or is Jac right?
