President Joe Biden is facing fresh criticism after his administration released illegal immigrant apprehension numbers from September, showing the number of arrests soared to a record high.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) made 227,547 arrests in September at the U.S.–Mexico border—the most in history. That was by far the highest number for a September, coming in at some 35,000 more than the first September under Biden, the previous record, and up 12 percent from August.
