Fake Travel Agencies in Sengal Offering Travel to the U.S. for Migrants
By Giacomo Ferragamo


Acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller has expressed concern over the escalating challenge this poses to border control, emphasizing the need for additional resources and comprehensive immigration reform in a recent interview on Fox. In the 2023 fiscal year, there was a substantial increase in arrests of migrants from countries like Senegal, Mauritania, China, and India, with 214,000 recorded. The situation has been further exacerbated by the rising number of migrants attempting to enter the US, either legally through ports of entry or illegally between them. This influx has led to an overburdened immigration court system, with a backlog now exceeding three million cases, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
