The June arrest report represents the largest number of migrant encounters for any month in the sector’s history. The sector patrols the Canadian border with eastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. It actually exceeds the annual total for any fiscal year before the Biden administration.
Migrant apprehensions in the Swanton Sector rose exponentially during the Biden era. Garcia reported that the apprehensions during the month of April exceeded the combined annual totals of FY21 and FY22.
Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, Swanton Sector agents have arrested more than 21,000 migrants — more than all prior years dating back FY 2003 combined.
