Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 8,500 migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border from Mexico into the United States in May, according to unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas.
This is the second straight month of increased apprehensions. However, more than 99 percent of these were returned to Mexico or a safe third country.
Unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 8,500 migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border from Mexico in May. This is up slightly from the nearly 8,300 arrested in April. It represents the second consecutive month of increases following record-shattering declines in migrant apprehensions following President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.
In the four and one-half months since President Trump took office, agents apprehended an average of 9,300 migrants per month. In December, President Joe Biden’s last full month in office, and the lowest number of his tenure, agents apprehended more than 29,000 migrants.
