While the current surge of immigrant families and unaccompanied children continues to overwhelm detention facilities that are already overcapacity in the Rio Grande Valley sector, new data suggests there is now a rise in the number of adults without children apprehended during the early part of the year.
Specifically, February has seen a month-to-month increase of 26% in adults without children, according to new data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, from 18,678 to 23,451.
A data gathering, research and distribution organization at Syracuse University, TRAC’s numbers account for adults without children who U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended at the southwest border.
