U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 142,000 total encounters at the southwest border during April, up 12 percent from March. The surge reflects seasonal migration patterns and family unit arrivals from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

A 34% increase in encounters at the southern border this year outpaces last year's already-record pace. New data from CBP reveals the scale of the enforcement challenge facing the Biden administration.

The volume is down at the line. The intelligence is up at the desk. Anyone telling you the border is fixed has not stood inside a Forward Operating Base lately.
