The apprehension of migrants crossing the southwest spiked to more than 9,000 per day, according to an official with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
This compares to approximately 7,200 per day during December — the highest month for the Biden administration and the second-highest month in Border Patrol history.
Texas DPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez told Breitbart Texas that Border Patrol agents in the nine southwest border sectors apprehended more than 9,000 migrants per day for the past two days. This puts the month of May into a record-shattering pace that is only expected to increase as Title 42 comes to an end on May 11.
If the rate remained steady throughout the month, as many as 279,000 migrants could be apprehended this month. The number could be higher, Olivarez said.
