Border apprehensions during the month of April reached a new 20-year record, breaking the previous record set in March.
“CBP continues to see a large influx of illegal migration along the Southwest Border,” Customs and Border Protection chief Troy Miller said.
How many migrants came in April?
CBP agents encountered 178,622 migrants attempting to enter the U.S. via the southern border last month, a 3% increase over March.
The number is more than 10 times greater than April 2020, when 17,106 migrants were caught at the southern border.
