The August numbers come the same month the Trump administration began construction of a section of a border wall in Arizona despite objections from a Native American tribe.

The wall is part of a $46 billion effort to shore up the southern border with 30-foot steel bollard walls, vehicle barriers and technology designed to stop illegal immigration and smuggling.

However, the Tohono O'odham Nation sued the administration earlier this year, saying the construction will damage land sacred to the tribe.
