U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 2.7 million illegal immigrant apprehensions in October. Data from The Center Square suggested an additional 637,170 gotaways for a total of 3,337,170 illegal immigrant apprehensions and gotaways for 2022. The number exceeds the total population of 20 U.S. states combined.
From Just the News:
Arizona BP agents apprehended over 591,000 illegal foreign nationals and recorded at least 224,250 gotaways; California BP agents apprehended over 242,000 and reported over 59,000 gotaways. Unless action is taken by courts in several pending cases brought by Texas and other states, or action is taken by Congress, or the governors of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California take action to prevent illegal entry into their states, fiscal 2023 numbers are expected to far exceed fiscal 2022 totals, border agents tell The Center Square.
