Border Patrol Council on Senate omnibus bill: 'Very disappointed'
National Border Patrol Council VP Hector Garza weighs in on the ongoing border crisis as officials continue to be overwhelmed by migrant influx on 'Your World.'
In a Friday night release before Christmas, U.S. border authorities reported a record number of encounters with migrants in November as officials worry about the impacts of the impending expiration of Title 42.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the agency saw 233,740 encounters along the southwest border, a 1% increase from October. At least 16% of the migrants encountered had at least one prior encounter in the past year, the agency said.

"Individuals from Mexico and northern Central America accounted for just 30% of unique encounters in November, a significant drop from the 53% they represented a year ago, as more migrants arrive from a variety of other countries, including Cuba and Nicaragua," said CBP Acting Commissioner Troy Miller.
