U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded more than nearly a quarter of a million encounters at the southwest land border in the month of November, the agency confirmed Friday, while insisting that authorities stationed along the Mexican frontier need additional support from Congress.
In total, CBP reported 242,418 arrivals at the southern border in November, including 191,113 between ports of entry. The figures represent a modest uptick from the October numbers of 240,988 total and 188,778 between ports of entry.
The agency processed 43,000 individuals at ports of entry using the CBP One app.
“CBP continues to execute its important mission to protect the American people, safeguard our borders, and enhance the nation’s economic prosperity by implementing operational plans, surging personnel and decompressing areas along the southwest border while processing and vetting migrants who are encountered humanely, safely, and efficiently, consistent with our laws,” said Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner Troy A. Miller.
