The Biden administration has not yet released the official border apprehension numbers to the public for the month of March.
However, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin has obtained preliminary internal data from Customs and Border Protection, and is exposing how the Biden administration is tweaking the numbers to make it appear the invasion is smaller than it actually is.
DHS is encouraging migrants from certain countries to use the “CBP One App” to schedule appointments to be processed into the country, instead of just walking across. They are then reporting these numbers separately.
Melugin announced on Monday: [emphasis added]
NEW: Per CBP source, initial internal CBP data shows Border Patrol arrested approx. 137,500 illegal aliens in March, which would be the lowest March for Border Patrol under Biden’s presidency. Prior low was 163,672 in in FY’23.
However, data shows there were also approx. 51,900 encounters at CBP ports of entry in March, which includes releases into US via CBP One App.
When added w/ Border Patrol’s numbers between ports of entry, that brings overall March southern border encounters to approx. 189,400, which would be the third highest March of overall encounters under Biden, behind FY’23, which was approx. 212,000.
CBP source tells me there were 20,000+ known gotaways recorded in March. Gotaways are not recorded in the above numbers.
I should add, this data is for southern border only & does not include coastal & northern border. Will work on that data next.

Known Gotaways
Melugin also announced there were 919 known gotaways seen sneaking into the U.S. on Easter Sunday alone. Those are typically all adult men, who are intentionally evading authorities, and not turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents.
Melugin said over the past 7 days, known gotaways have averaged 761 per day, which equates to 5,327 per WEEK, or over 22,000 per MONTH.
These are the numbers that border officials say “keep them up at night,” as they are usually believed to have gang or terrorist connections.
The *known gotaways* are the ones who Border Agents saw but couldn’t catch, or who were seen on surveillance footage.
Melugin writes:
NEW: 919 known gotaways recorded at the border yesterday, per CBP source. 7 day average of known gotaways: 761 per day.
Reminder: Gotaways are not recorded in the official public border numbers reported each month. CBP tracks internally after seeing/detecting them.

These are the statistics that @USBPChief Jason Owens says keep him up at night. Around 2 million illegal aliens, about whom we know nothing, have entered our country as gotaways under Biden and Mayorkas.
That should keep us all up at night. https://t.co/iSMDlAQ3wF

At least 69 people on the terror watchlist have been encountered trying to enter the U.S. between ports of entry this fiscal year.
There have been 1.8 MILLION “gotaways” since Biden took office. How many terrorists escaped into the country?
