nationwide encounters in FY2026, through July 2026

What the data shows

  • CBP has recorded 314,440 nationwide encounters so far in fiscal year 2026, through July 2026.
  • The complete fiscal years before it were 3,201,144 in fiscal year 2023, 2,901,142 in fiscal year 2024 and 691,906 in fiscal year 2025.
  • An encounter is an event, not a person: the same individual can be encountered more than once.

Caveats

  • Fiscal year 2026 is incomplete — it runs through July 2026 only. It is never compared to a full year as though both covered the same span, and no rise or fall is claimed.
  • Only the nationwide totals come straight from CBP's file; sector and demographic breakdowns on the page are derived estimates and are not stated here.

Methodology & sources
Data signals are computed from the same committed snapshots the site renders — never typed in, never estimated, never written by a model. Only reported figures and exact counts of ImmigrationClock’s own archive qualify; nothing projected or modeled appears here. Direction and magnitude are stated, never causation. See all insights.
