Tucson agents have admitted nearly 278,000 migrants so far this year, maintaining the title of the Border Patrol’s busiest sector. Del Rio, last year’s busiest sector, has fallen to fourth place this year as increased enforcement activity in Texas and Mexico has shifted migrant crossing patterns westward.
So far this year, Border Patrol agents along the Southwest border have encountered about 1.4 million migrants crossing the border illegally between ports of entry, down slightly from the record-breaking numbers of the previous two years.
The Biden administration’s recent tactics to make it appear as though it has stepped up border security have resulted in the lowest month of migrant arrests since the administration took office, Breitbart Texas reported. Border Patrol agents apprehended just over 82,000 migrants who crossed the border illegally between ports of entry in June.
In January 2021, President Joe Biden signed executive orders repealing or reversing successful Trump administration policies, Breitbart News reported at the time. That month, Border Patrol agents apprehended just over 78,000 migrants who illegally crossed the Southwest border between ports of entry. This was the last time that CBP arrest reports would have five-digit numbers, until June 2024. In February 2021, agents apprehended more than 101,000 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported.
The arrest figure does not include the more than 1.1 million migrants the Biden administration has granted migrant parole under a program not authorized or funded by Congress, Breitbart News reported in June. The parole pipeline brings foreign nationals into the U.S. through the administration’s “CBP One” mobile app and “humanitarian parole,” Breitbart’s John Binder wrote.
The arrest figures also do not include the more than 194,000 people who are known to have fled so far this year, Breitbart Texas reported.
