U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said the illegal immigrants are traveling to America by freight trains.

In September 2023, CBP reported over 340,000 encounters with illegal immigrants trying to enter the U.S. through the northern and southern border. The agency’s report excluded “gotaways,” meaning illegal immigrants who were able to cross into America scotch-free without apprehension.

From October 2022 through September 2023, CBP officials reported over 3.2 million encounters with illegal immigrants, of which 2.5 million were at the southern border.

In response to the record number of encounters at the southern border, CBP “surged resources and personnel,” according to acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller.

“We are continually engaging with domestic and foreign partners to address historic hemispheric migration, including large migrant groups traveling on freight trains, and to enforce consequences including by preparing for direct repatriations to Venezuela,” Miller said.

“CBP will continue to remain vigilant, making operational adjustments as necessary and enforcing consequences under U.S. immigration law,” he added.
