Fox News
More than 64,000 illegal immigrants slipped past Border Patrol agents in October, higher than the average for the record-setting fiscal year 2022, according to multiple CBP sources.
The numbers also show that there have been at least 205,000 apprehensions by Border Patrol, compared to 159,113 last October and 69,032 in October 2020. It is believed to be the highest October number in DHS history. Bill Melugin currently serves as a national correspondent for FOX News Channel based out of the Los Angeles bureau.
That Border Patrol-only figure does not include those encountered at ports of entry by Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Office of Field Operations – which averaged around 15,000 a month in FY 2022. That means the overall monthly number of encounters is expected be higher than 205,000. There were 164,837 encounters overall in October last year and 227,547 encountered in September 2022, the last month of a fiscal year that saw a record 2.3 million migrant encounters overall.
