Border Patrol agents arrested nearly twice as many illegal immigrants in August as in June, spelling disaster for the Biden administration that had touted declining border numbers as a policy success.
Initial numbers from inside Customs and Border Protection showed 182,401 people were apprehended after illegally entering the country last month. Roughly 179,000 of the 182,401 came across the southern border with Mexico, according to three U.S. officials who shared information with the Washington Examiner ahead of its normal release weeks after the month's end.
