   EAGLE PASS, Texas (AP) — Daniel Bermudez’s family had fled Venezuela and   
   was headed to the U.S. to seek asylum when the freight train they were   
   riding through Mexico was stopped by immigration officials.   
      
   His wife tried to explain that her family had permission to go to the   
   U.S. Instead, they flew her to Mexico’s southern border as part of a   
   surge of enforcement actions that U.S. officials say have contributed to   
   a sharp drop in illegal border crossings.   
      
   In addition to forcing migrants from trains, Mexico also resumed flying   
   and busing them to the southern part of the country and started flying   
   some home to Venezuela.   
      
   Even if temporary, the decrease in illegal crossings is welcome news for   
   the White House. President Joe Biden’s administration is locked in talks   
   with Senate negotiators over restricting asylum and $110 billion in aid   
   for Ukraine and Israel hangs in the balance.   
      
   Bermudez said his wife became separated from her family when she talked   
   to authorities as he gathered his stepchild and their belongings. He   
   wanted to run, but his wife said they shouldn’t because they had   
   followed procedure by making an appointment with U.S. immigration   
   authorities.   
      
   “I told her, `Don’t trust them. Let’s go into the brush,’” Bermudez   
   said, adding that other migrants had fled. He recalled her telling him,   
   “Why are they sending us back if we have an appointment?”   
      
   Last week, Bermudez, his stepchild and two other relatives were waiting   
   for her at a shelter in the Mexican border town of Piedras Negras as she   
   took a bus back in hopes of still making the date.   
      
   Mexico’s immigration agency sent at least 22 flights from its border   
   region with the U.S. to southern cities during the last 10 days of   
   December, according to Witness at the Border, an advocacy group that   
   tracks flight data. Most were from Piedras Negras, which is across the   
   border from Eagle Pass, Texas.   
      
   Mexico also ran two removal flights to Venezuela with 329 migrants. The   
   stretch was punctuated by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit   
   to Mexico City on Dec. 28 to confront unprecedented crossings to the   
   United States.   
      
   Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said a financial shortfall   
   that had led the immigration agency to suspend deportations and other   
   operations was resolved. He did not offer details.   
      
   Arrests for illegal crossings into the U.S. from Mexico fell to about   
   2,500 on Monday, down from more than 10,000 on several days in December,   
   according to U.S. authorities. In the Border Patrol’s busiest area,   
   arrests totaled 13,800 during the seven-day period ending Friday, down   
   29% from 19,400 two weeks earlier, according to Tucson, Arizona, sector   
   chief John Modlin.   
      
   The drop led U.S. Customs and Border Protection to reopen the port of   
   entry in Lukeville, Arizona, on Thursday after a monthlong closure on   
   the most direct route from Phoenix to its nearest beaches. The U.S. also   
   restored operations at Eagle Pass and three other locations.   
      
   Merchants in Eagle Pass, a city of about 30,000 people, saw sales take   
   “a major hit” while a bridge was closed to vehicle traffic so border   
   agents could be reassigned to help process migrants, Maverick County   
   Judge Ramsey English Cantu said.   
      
   “We survive pretty much from everything that comes from the Mexican   
   side,” he said.   
      
   Last month, CBP resumed freight crossings in Eagle Pass and El Paso,   
   Texas, after a five-day shutdown that U.S. officials said was a response   
   to as many as 1,000 migrants riding atop a single train through Mexico   
   before trying to walk across the border.   
      
   In Piedras Negras on Thursday, Casa del Migrante housed about 200   
   migrants, down from as high as 1,500 recently.   
      
   Among them was Manuel Rodriguez, 40, who said his family will miss their   
   appointment to seek asylum that was made through the U.S. government’s
