Vermont border apprehensions in last 3 months more than past two years combined

Apprehensions of illegal immigrants crossing into Vermont along its border with Canada have more than doubled in a little more than three months compared to the last two years, a Customs and Border Protection Official said. 

“In less than four months, Swanton Sector’s apprehensions have surpassed the COMBINED two prior years (FY2021-2022),” Robert Garcia, chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol’s Swanton Sector, tweeted last week. 

He continued, “In the face of this adversity, our #BorderPatrol Agents remain steadfast in their portrayal of our ideals: Vigilance, Integrity, & Service to Country. #HonorFirst.”

He added that the sector had a nearly 743% increase over the same prior-year period. 

In December, the Swanson Sector, which encompasses all of Vermont, captured a record 441 people crossing illegally from Canada, according to the Center Square.
