After a several-month pause, Mexico's government has begun updating its “migrant encounter” data. Like U.S. authorities, they are measuring a drop in migration—though encountering more people than CBP is reporting.

Out of the 5.8 million migrants stopped by Border Patrol during a three year period, only 11 were caught carrying fentanyl. Our new investigation for Project On Government Oversight shows just how INCREDIBLY RARE it is for migrants to bring drugs across the border. pogo.org/investigations…
