More than half of those stopped at the border since January 2021, for example, were removed under a contested policy known as Title 42, which bars any entry. Yet those stops are often included in rhetoric about immigrants pouring into the country.
That said, new data obtained by the research center TRAC at the University of Syracuse show that the percentage of people turned away under Title 42 who had previously been encountered at the border didn’t change significantly during the first year and a half the policy was in place. In other words, while on a month-to-month basis the Border Patrol says it is encountering people already stopped in the same month, the percentage of apprehensions involving people with prior stops has been fairly steady.
