Ongoing security and managing crisis at our southwest border, publishing a final rule to implement the agreement. This year weve seen an unprecedented flow of family units primarily from Central America coming through our southwest border. During the first ten months, u. S. Border protection apprehended almost 495,000, and most crossed the border, three times more than any other fall record.
