New Rules for Reporting on Border Crossers in the USA

A new law requires the Department of Homeland Security to monthly publish data on individuals who attempted to unlawfully enter the U.S. and may pose a security risk. This information will be publicly available, increasing government transparency regarding border protection efforts. Citizens will gain access to detailed data on illegal border crossing attempts, which may influence public debate on national security.
Key points
The Department of Homeland Security will monthly publish the number of individuals who attempted to unlawfully enter the U.S. and may pose a national security risk.
Reports will include information on the nationalities of these individuals, their encounter locations (land, air, sea, interior), and countries of origin.
The first report will cover data from January 20, 2021, to January 19, 2025, with subsequent reports covering the preceding month.
