| [Breitbart] Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 2,700 migrants over the Christmas weekend, adding to the nearly 30,000 in November. “The mission never sleeps,” Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens said in a tweet on Monday. “Our numbers continue to increase across the board in all metrics.” Owens reported his agents apprehended 2,700 migrants over the Christmas weekend. Those arrests included at least three sex offenders. Several of the groups included more than 130 migrants — a tactic used to tax Border Patrol resources and allow other smuggling activities to proceed unfettered. In addition, the agents in the Del Rio Sector disrupted 15 smuggling cases and rescued 16 migrants placed in danger by their human smugglers. These Christmas-weekend apprehensions added to the nearly 30,000 migrants apprehended in the sector during the month of November, Owens tweeted. These apprehensions represent an increase of more than 241 percent over the same month in 2020. During the first two months of Fiscal Year 22, which began on October 1, Del Rio Sector agents apprehended 57,965 migrants (up 238 percent over the same period in FY21). The apprehensions included 42,122 single adults (up 191 percent), 14,335 Family Unit Aliens (up 695 percent), and 1,508 Unaccompanied Alien Children (up 76 percent). Border Patrol agents pick up migrants from Turkey as part of arrivals from dozens of countries [FoxNews] Border Patrol agents in El Paso, Texas have picked up five migrants from Turkey attempting to enter the U.S. illegally -- as officials say they are seeing foreign nationals from dozens of countries arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. El Paso Chief Border Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez announced that agents in Ysleta had intercepted the five Turkish nationals entering the U.S. illegally. She added that agents in the sector have so far arrested migrants from over 45 nationalities. "Border Security is National Security!" she tweeted, along with a graphic that said "Turkish Incursion." Agents have been dealing with a constant, large flow of migrants coming to the border, primarily from Mexico and Northern Triangle countries. But agents have also encountered migrants from all across the globe attempting to gain access to the United States. In Fiscal Year 2021, there were 1,409 encounters with migrants coming from Turkey, up from 109 in FY 2020. So far in FY 2022, there have been 957 encounters since October. Meanwhile, there were 2,588 Indian nationals encountered in FY2021, up from 1,120 in FY 2020. There were 450 encounters with Chinese nationals in FY 2021, down from the 1,738 in FY 2020. There were an additional 20,707 migrants in FY2021 listed as coming from "other" countries outside those listed on the CBP statistics – up from 7,047 in FY2020. CBP figures released earlier this month show agents reported 173,620 encounters at the southern border in November, a staggering increase of 140 percent from the same time last year. Fiscal Year 2021, which ran through September, saw the most encounters on record with more than 1.7 million encounters. |

| #2 At this point we should just stop referring to them as "migrants." They're not even "colonists." They're de facto new hires for the Democratic Party's electoral fraud machine. Call them Electoral Integrity Monitors, or maybe VotingRights Advocates . Or "community organizees" |
