Border Patrol's apprehensions of migrants leveled off in October, after 2 months of sharp increases.

We may be returning to a seasonal pattern: up in spring and fall. Asylum seekers, who don't intend to be outdoors evading agents, are less seasonal… but there's no asylum to be had now.

The average age of people deported to Guatemala increased 3.3 years from 2024 to 2025, and 7.3 years from 2021 to 2025.

Most likely, rather than recent border arrivals, many more people aboard the ICE planes had been living in the US for a significant portion of their lives.

2025 marijuana seizures equaled what CBP, in 2018, would seize in just 20 days. 91% of marijuana is seized at the border in Texas—the only border state where you can't just buy it in a store without a prescription. (Who is smuggling it into the other 3 states? 🤷🏼‍♂️)

Fentanyl seizures at the border dropped 46%. California and Arizona continue to account for 96% of all seizures. Ports of entry are where 86% of seizures happen.
