Border Patrol agents apprehended over 137,000 migrants who crossed the U.S. southern border unlawfully in March, down from nearly 141,000 in February, according to preliminary Customs and Border Protection figures confirmed by three U.S. officials. It’s the first time in seven years — and the only time during the Biden administration — that illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border did not increase from February to March, historical CBP statistics show. In fact, in the past three years, illegal crossings have spiked, by at least 33,000 additional apprehensions, during this time period. Another 52,000 migrants were processed at legal border crossings in March, many of them under a Biden administration process

Cutting edge robotics are descending upon the Disneyland Resort. With new droids arriving at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge this week — and some of the most lifelike characters ever created coming later this year to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — the Walt Disney Co. this year is elevating the wizardry that is theme park engineering. Walt Disney Imagineering, the company’s typically-secretive arm devoted to theme park development, hasn’t been shy regarding the testing of bipedal droids that can hop in place, bow their heads and nudge humans like robotic pets. A trio of them, known as BDX droids, made their one-day debut at Galaxy’s Edge late last year, a surprise appearance that went viral among Disney and “Star Wars” fans. Knee-high, the “droids in training,” as they were labeled by Imagineering, possess a wobbly cuteness. They’ll be returning to Disneyland starting Friday, and appearing throughout the resort’s spring “Star Wars” promotion known as Season of the Force, which lasts through June 2. Their temporary appearance fulfills a long-held promise to bring more robotic life to Disneyland’s space fantasy franchises. A trio of BDX droids will return

Shohei Ohtani sniffled. He coughed into his shoulder. “These last few days,” he said in Japanese, “it was pretty …” He stopped himself. “It’s gotten better,” he said. Even though Ohtani hadn’t completely recovered from the cold that made the rounds in the clubhouse in recent days, he managed to crack a smile after a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. Nine games into his first season with the Dodgers, Ohtani finally homered. He was more relieved than he was overjoyed, which was evident by how he looked as he rounded the bases after launching a seventh-inning fastball by Taylor Rodgers halfway up the right-field pavilion. He didn’t grin. He didn’t scream. He didn’t punch the air or point to the sky. Only when outfielder Teoscar Hernández showered him with sunflower seeds in front of the dugout did Ohtani break the emotionless facade. “Inside, I felt as if I hadn’t hit one in a pretty long time,” he said. “Honestly, I’m relieved I was able to hit one.” The 430-foot solo blast off left-hander Taylor Rogers came on
