(Washington Times) The Border Patrol reported encountering 29 terrorism suspects along the southern border in May, setting a new single-month record even as the government said the overall pace of illegal border crossings dipped.
Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol, said agents have now caught 125 people at the southern border whose names are flagged in the terrorist watchlist since the start of the fiscal year in October.
Even with four months to go in this fiscal year, that number still shatters the previous record set under President Biden last year, when agents encountered 98.
