U.S. Border Patrol agents saw their "busiest recent day" in apprehensions at the border near El Paso, Texas, on Memorial Day, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said on Tuesday.
While residents were "commemorating the men and women who died in military service for the United States on Memorial Day," CBP said, "Border Patrol Agents were busier than ever taking into custody more than 2,200 illegal aliens who entered the country illegally."
According to the agency, Monday was the "busiest recent day of enforcement activity" for El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents "during the ongoing influx" of asylum seekers arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.
