By David Olen Cross
United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is an important element of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) who along with other elements of DHS collectively work together in attempting to keep our nations citizens and residents safe from foreign national threats to public safety.
A critical responsibility of U.S. Customs and Border Protection is preventing foreign nationals (criminal noncitizens) who have been convicted of domestic or foreign crimes and deported from the country from illegally entering or reentering the United States of America.
The U.S. Border Patrol Criminal Noncitizen Statistics webpage is an excellent source for information that indicates the number of criminal aliens CBP caught, interdicted or prevented from entering the country. Moreover, the Criminal Noncitizen Statistics webpage reveals the types of prior criminal convictions that prohibited them by federal law from being legally present in the country.
For Fiscal Year 2023 U.S. Customs and Border Protection has taken into custody and arrested 15,267 criminal noncitizens (Note: CBP’s Fiscal Year runs from October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023).
