Border Patrol agents detained a total of 132,887 illegal migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border during the month of May, according to newly released data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Border agents also turned away 11,391 migrants who arrived at legal points of entry, bringing the total number of migrant encounters in May to 144,278.

The newly released information confirms that more foreign nationals are illegally arriving at the U.S. border, despite the Trump administration’s concerned efforts to discourage illegal immigration.

May’s apprehension numbers are not only the highest in the current fiscal year, but the highest in well over a decade. Migrant arrests by Border Patrol agents have increased every month since January. May marks the third consecutive month in which encounters topped 100,000.

The latest data shows that the situation increasing exponentially, with encounters jumping over 30% from April to March. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials expect this trend to continue as more migrants choose to make the journey to the U.S. during the summer months.
