Solo la semana pasada tuvieron aproximadamente 9,992 detenciones.
Lo que es aún más sorprendente es la cantidad de personas que se sabe que escaparon y evitaron ser detenidas.
Según el informe semanal del Sector hubo 4.232 Escapes. Se trata de personas que de alguna manera fueron detectadas, ya sea por sensores, videovigilancia u otros dispositivos de medición de seguridad, pero lograron evitar ser detenidas.
A las autoridades de la Patrulla Fronteriza a menudo les preocupa este número porque nunca se sabe quién se encuentra entre ese gran número de personas que hacen todo lo posible para evitar ser detenidas.
Durante la semana, los agentes también rescataron a 20 personas.
También hubo 22 grandes grupos de individuos que cruzaron juntos el Río Grande y se entregaron a la agencia.
