CBP nationwide encounters: data through August 2026
This is a statistical release. It reports what has already happened and changes no one's status or obligations.
What the document says
CBP published nationwide encounter figures covering fiscal year 2026 through August 2026. The cumulative year-to-date total is 348,866 encounters. An encounter is an enforcement action, not a person: one individual can be encountered more than once, so encounters and people are different counts.

About this record
- Data through
- Aug 31, 2026
- Source
- CBP Nationwide Encounters, checked Oct 30, 2026
- Review
- Classified automatically; not reviewed by a person
- An encounter is an enforcement action, not a person. Title 8 apprehensions, Title 8 inadmissibles, and expulsions are counted together, and one person can be encountered several times in a year, so encounters exceed the number of individuals.
- Figures are year-to-date for fiscal year 2026, which begins on 1 October. They are not a calendar-year count and are not comparable to a full year until the year closes.
- CBP does not publish a release date, only a publication month, so this event is dated to the first of that month. The month the figures actually cover is given as the data-through date and is exact.
