The number of arrests or detentions of migrants at the border this fiscal year remains at a record high, according to data released Monday.

With more than a month still left in the fiscal year, the number of apprehensions marks a significant increase from 2021. That fiscal year, authorities apprehended migrants 1.66 million times and encountered migrants nearly 2 million times -- in what was then a new record. So far in fiscal year 2022, there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters.
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.
Meanwhile, Republicans have denounced the White House's approach to the high level of immigration. Some GOP leaders in border states and elsewhere have also used the migrants as part of public stunts to underline their criticism -- buying bus and plane tickets to send the migrants to Democratic states where local officials were caught off guard.
