In August, the Border Patrol apprehended 3,295 adults with children, down 55 percent from July and down nearly 80 percent from June's 16,329 apprehensions of adults with children, according to DHS.

In releasing the latest statistics, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson attributed the decline to an "aggressive response" by multiple departments, including the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services.
