Border encounters top 100,000 in February as migrant crisis spirals
Fox News
Law enforcement at the border encountered more than 100,000 migrants at the border in February, as the Biden administration faces a dramatically escalating crisis -- and admits the numbers are "overwhelming."
More than 70 percent of those encountered were expelled via the Title 42 public health order that allows authorities to quickly return migrants to country of travel, the source said. Activist groups have urged the administration to end Title 42 expulsions, but so far it has not done so. The numbers are the latest sign that the surge in migrants risks turning into a tidal wave by the time peak migration season hits later this year. In the 2019 border crisis, the height was in May when agents encountered 144,000 migrants. In February that year, apprehensions were at 76,000 and 57,000 in January.
