In last four years, five northern states saw most illegal crossings
Northern border states saw nearly one million illegal crossings and 1,216 terrorist apprehensions, representing 64% of national totals under the Biden administration.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection data obtained by The Center Square show 754,928 illegal border crosser apprehensions in 14 northern border states for fiscal years 2022–2025, breaking records nearly every month under the Biden administration.
- Remote, largely unmanned stretches of the U.S.-Canada border have less technology, fewer agents, and decades of limited control, allowing fentanyl smuggling and KST flows to shift north, The Center Square reported.
- State-Level numbers reveal Border Patrol and CBP agents apprehended 1,216 KSTs, nearly 200,000 entries peaked in 2023–2024, with nearly half reported in New York.
- Policy responses included President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency and ordering U.S. military border security measures as 2025 apprehensions in Montana and North Dakota remained above 2022 levels.
- CBP data exclude `gotaways`, which Border Patrol agents identified as more than two million under the Biden administration, and officials caution published numbers represent only a fraction due to remote patrol limits.
