While Americans celebrate Christmas, multiple cities across the country brace for what will happen if the Supreme Court decides to end Title 42 as federal border officials report a record number of illegal immigrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Dec. 23, data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection showed that, in November, the agency recorded 233,740 migrant encounters across the southern border that stretches almost 2,000 miles.
That marks more than a 30 percent increase compared to the same period in November 2021.
Around 16 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended by federal border officials last month had previously attempted to enter the United States, according to Department of Homeland Security information.
