Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered over 211,000 migrant encounters in April, the month before the controversial Title 42 public health order ended.
Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., calls out Biden for his claims about the border after 6 on the FBI terror watchlist were arrested at the border in 2 days, and latest developments in the Hunter Biden investigation, ahead of the ending of the Title 42 public health order, according to Customs and Border Protection statistics obtained by Fox News Digital – an increase from March’s numbers but below the same period last year.
The end of that order on May 11 brought with it concerns that there would have a fresh surge of migrants on top of the already enormous numbers authorities have been seeing. That appeared to be happening when in the days preceding the end of the order say over 10,000 encounters a day -- but encounters have dropped since then to approximately 4,400 a day.
"April marks the final month of encounters with the Title 42 public health order in effect," an administration official said."The pandemic-era border restriction led to an increase in repeat encounters and prevented us from imposing meaningful consequences, like a minimum five-year ban on reentry and potential criminal prosecution for unlawful entry."
In April 23% of encounters were marked as repeat encounters. Meanwhile, there were 11,478 encounters of unaccompanied children in April, down from March. Of the 211,401 migrants encountered overall in April, Border Patrol encountered 182,112 entering illegally between ports of entry.that it has been"encouraged" by the end of the Title 42 public health order, and that there were signs that migrant traffic in the Darien Gap was also decreasing.
