23 Undocumented Individuals Intercepted by Border Patrol
23 Undocumented Individuals. On 8/21/09 CBP apprehended 23 Mexican nationals who illegally reached the San Diego coastline by sea and sent to a Border Patrol station for processing. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, assaults on Border Patrol officers increased dramatically in fiscal year 2016, reversing a long downward trend. The increase from 2016 to 2017 was even more surprising. But in the Rio Grande Valley, the average is about four assaults per incident. The next year, 2013, both agencies again used the same figure: 468. In 2014, the numbers were also identical: 373. When the Border Patrol published the number of assaults during those years, it meant “officers assaulted.”
