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.
