El Paso, Texas The El Paso border sector has emerged as the busiest area for border patrol activity along the southwest border, according to the latest data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In February, El Paso surpassed the San Diego sector in the number of encounters with migrants. This shift in activity occurs even as overall border encounters continue to decline.
CBP data indicates a changing landscape at the border, with resources and personnel potentially needing to be reallocated to address the increased activity in the El Paso sector. Factors contributing to this shift are currently being analyzed, but could include changing migration routes and economic conditions in origin countries. The decline in overall encounters suggests ongoing efforts to secure the border are having some effect, although specific details and long-term trends are still under evaluation.
