During that five-month period Swanton Sector officials apprehended nearly 3,300 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Canada into New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire, Breitbart Texas reported after reviewing unofficial Border Patrol reports.

According to the CBP Nationwide Encounters Report, during the entire fiscal years 22, 21, and 20, Swanton Sector officials report the apprehension of 1,065, 365, and 574 respectively. The total for these three entire fiscal years stands at 2,004 migrant apprehensions. The nearly 3,300 apprehended in five months represents an increase of about 65 percent over the three-year total.

In addition to the more than 3,300 migrants apprehended by agents so far this fiscal year, another nearly 1,200 migrants are known got-aways.  These are migrants the Border Patrol knows entered the U.S. but were unable to be apprehended, the reports reviewed by Breitbart reveal.
