The number of deceased immigrants recovered at the U.S.-Mexico border spiked during President Joe Biden’s first full year in office last year to the highest number on record, according to data acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request by the Washington Examiner.
Data tracked by federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border indicate that a record-high 880 immigrants who illegally entered the United States were found deceased in fiscal 2022, which ended in September. The Washington Examiner obtained the Border Patrol data Monday through a FOIA request filed in July 2022.
