More than a quarter of a million immigrants turned up at the U.S. border in May, with a growing percentage choosing to surrender to federal customs officials at ports of entry rather than crossing illegally, according to newly released government data.
A total of 273,141 non-U.S. citizens were encountered at the United States's sea, air, and land border last month, including 170,284 who were arrested by Border Patrol agents for entering illegally and 102,857 who were denied entry at a crossing point, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection numbers published Tuesday.
Encounters have remained at all-time highs in the two and a half years since President Joe Biden took office and peaked at 302,041 in December 2022 before dropping to 208,500 in January of this year. More than 102,000 people presented themselves to CBP officers at ports of entry, making it the highest month ever for port of entry encounters. CBP did not clarify if immigrants who applied for appointments through the CBP One app to meet with customs officials were counted in the port encounters.
The conclusion of Title 42 on May 11 meant immigrants caught illegally entering the country would be barred from seeking admission legally for five years and they could face prosecution for the federal crime of unlawful entry under Title 8. It prompted many immigrants to attempt to get into the U.S. while Title 42 was still on the books.
