May Migrant Apprehensions Exceed 3,000 in Canadian Border Sector

by Bob Price and Randy Clark

Swanton Sector Border Patrol agents arrested more than 3,000 migrants in May, setting a new record for the Canadian border sector. The arrests bring this fiscal year’s total to more than 10,000 — another sector record.

Unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that Swanton Sector agents arrested approximately 3,000 migrants in May. This is the largest number of migrant encounters for any month in the sector’s history, which patrols the Canadian border with eastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. It actually exceeds the annual total for any fiscal year prior to the Biden administration.

We continue to see an unprecedented increase of illegal entries across eastern NY & VT. @USBPChief @CBP @DHSgov pic.twitter.com/bl4RNwJAQH
