When you rank the last 106 months by single adult apprehensions, July 2020 is tenth. Again, at the height of summer, in a pandemic.
With CBP expelling everyone, these are people trying to avoid apprehension, not ask agents for protection. That means walking through the desert.

Also note the general lack of summer months on this list. People don't migrate through the desert in July, normally. Something is going on here.
July's Border Patrol apprehensions of single adults were _way above_ the 9-year trendline.
