Border Apprehensions Surge 109 Percent Ahead of Trump

Breitbart TX: The apprehension of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) along the southern U.S. border by Border Patrol agents increased 109 percent for the first three months of this fiscal year compared to FY 2016. The December apprehensions of FMUAs increased for the sixth consecutive month. It was the largest single month of apprehensions of families crossing from Central America since the surge in June 2014.

Officials with U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that 16,135 FMUAs were apprehended along the southwest border during the month of December 2016. While this is an increase of only 544 over the November apprehension numbers, it represents the sixth straight month of increases. The number of apprehensions increased from the June 2016 report that indicated 6,627 FMUAs were apprehended. Those numbers increased each month to the end of the fiscal year’s September report of 9,609. Apprehensions jumped dramatically in the first month of this fiscal year (October) to 13,117.

An FMUA is defined by CBP officials as “children who are apprehended with one or more parent or legal guardian.”
