They totaled 785,422, greater than the individual populations of three U.S. states: Wyoming (586,485), Vermont (647,818), and Alaska (733,536).
As was the case in previous months and years under this administration, the greatest number of illegal border crossers are single adults. In Q1 FY24, apprehensions totaled over 413,000 single adults, accounting for 52% of illegal entries – nearly the population of Wyoming.
As Texas increased its border security efforts to block illegal entry, cartel activity has been pushed west into Democratic-led states that aren’t implementing similar tactics that Texas has, Texas Border Czar Mike Banks told The Center Square.
The apprehension data excludes known and reported gotaways, which CBP doesn’t publicly report. They are estimated to now be over two million, The Center Square has previously reported.
Including Q1 FY24 data, total illegal border crossers total roughly more than 11 million since January 2021.
