The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported an all-time, one-month record of 269,735 for September, bringing the record total for 2023 up to 2.47 million and straining "CBP surged resources and personnel."
"In response to high rates of encounters across the southwest border in September, CBP surged resources and personnel," senior CBP official Troy Miller wrote in a statement. "We are continually engaging with domestic and foreign partners to address historic hemispheric migration, including large migrant groups traveling on freight trains, and to enforce consequences including by preparing for direct repatriations to Venezuela.
"CBP will continue to remain vigilant, making operational adjustments as necessary and enforcing consequences under U.S. immigration law," Miller's statement continued. "The supplemental funding request announced would provide critically needed additional resources including additional CBP agents and officers to support our essential missions: from border and migration management, to countering fentanyl and keeping dangerous drugs out of our communities.
