U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions have exceeded 2 million so far this fiscal year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
A migrant is searched before transport after being apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents at the base of the Baboquivari Mountains, Sept. 8, 2022, near Sasabe, Ariz.
A growing number of the migrantshave been exercising their legal right to avoid deportation via humanitarian claims since the COVID-19 pandemic completely shut down standard immigration processingin March 2020. The administration has had ongoing negotiations with multiple countries that have their own challenges with receiving migrants, the officials said.
Slightly more than 1.04 million Border Patrol apprehensions resulted in a Title 42 expulsion in fiscal year 2021. In May, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas described a six-point plan to address border migration when the department was preparing for the end of the Title 42 order before its rescission was blocked in court.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said this week his city needs help in receiving the migrants that have arrived so far, a request that does not appear to resonate with officials in Texas, including Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who are managing a level of migrant arrivals many times greater compared to the number they sent north.
