Number of Criminals Caught Entering US Illegally Each Month Sets Record: CBP

The Epoch Times Header

If the trend continues, a record level of more than 17,000 criminals will have been caught crossing the border illegally this fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

The number of people with criminal convictions caught entering the United States illegally per month so far this fiscal year has risen to a record high, data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show.

An average of 1,459 criminal illegal aliens per month have been arrested after crossing the U.S. border unlawfully since the current fiscal year began on Oct. 1, 2023, according to CBP data. This is the highest monthly tally of any year on record.

If the trend continues, when fiscal year 2024 ends in September, a record level of more than 17,000 criminals will have been caught crossing the border illegally. So far this fiscal year, that number amounts to 13,130.

By comparison, fiscal year 2023 saw an average of 1,272 arrests of criminal illegal immigrants per month, for a total of 15,267 arrests.

Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens recently revealed that 360 of the illegal immigrants with criminal convictions arrested so far in 2024 have gang affiliations. 

โ€œIndividuals like these can pose a significant threat to public safety,โ€ he wrote in a post on X. โ€œWe must be able to apprehend & identify them, so we can prosecute & remove them.โ€

While a little over half of the individuals on the CBPโ€™s โ€œcriminal noncitizensโ€ arrest list for 2024 so far have prior convictions for illegal entry and re-entry, significant numbers have been convicted of more serious crimes like assault (814), burglary (496), sexual offenses (168), and homicide (23).

Criminal records are based on searching โ€œrecords checks of available law enforcement databases.โ€ The crimes may have occurred in the United States or abroad, but excludes conduct not considered criminal by the United States.

This past weekend, border patrol agents caught seven previously convicted sex offenders at the southwest border, Chief Owens wrote in another post on X.

This yearโ€™s record-breaking monthly numbers donโ€™t include gotawaysโ€”people who managed to evade capture to make their way into U.S. communities.
