- During the first three months of fiscal 2023, 38 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended, and by March, newly reported CBP data showed the number was nearly 10 times greater.
- So far this fiscal year, 45 known or suspected terrorists at points of entry, and an additional 80 between southern border ports of entry. That brings the total to 125.
- It’s even worse on the northern border, where 205 were captured at ports of entry and another two between ports of entry.
