More than 1.7 million illegal entries in first six months of fiscal 2024

The 1,733,496 who illegally entered in the first six months of the fiscal year outnumber the 1,547,866 who illegally entered in the first six months of fiscal 2023 by more than 185,000.

In the first six months of fiscal 2024, more than one million single adults - 1,040,553 - illegally entered the U.S., according to CBP data.

In the first six months of fiscal 2024, CBP agents seized 10,026 pounds of fentanyl.

In the first six months of fiscal 2024, 91,408 illegal border crossers were apprehended, the greatest number in U.S. history.

The number increased dramatically to 109,535 in fiscal 2022, and to 189,402 in fiscal 2023.

Nationally, if the numbers continue on the same trajectory, fiscal 2024 illegal entries and fentanyl seizures are on track to surpass all other previous fiscal year records.

CBP's fiscal year is from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.
