Border Patrol agents encountered 98 illegal migrants, a record high, whose names were on the terror watchlist at the southern border in fiscal year 2022, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.
The terror watchlist numbers coincide with record numbers of migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered an all-time high of nearly 2.3 million migrants at the southern border during the October 2021 to September 2022 time period.
Border Patrol agents encountered three people on the terror watchlist in fiscal year 2020 and 15 in fiscal year 2021 at the southern border, according to CBP statistics.
There’s also been a nearly 600% surge in “special interest migrants” who come from countries where terrorist organizations are known to operate, according to internal data exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
