At least 2,760,000 illegal aliens have already come into the country over the last year, and as the expiration of Title 42 goes before the Supreme Court, Mexico is swirling with incalculable new arrivals ready to swarm the border.
El Paso alone expects 18,000 migrants to cross every day should the Supreme Court allow Title 42 to expire.
In anticipation of those staggering numbers, a source not authorized to speak to the press told Brietbart Media that the Department of Homeland Security has decided to brush the issue under the rug by issuing a gag order to Custom and Border Protection managers, forbidding them from releasing the number of migrant apprehensions to the public without DHS approval.
The directive was issued on Monday and took immediate effect.
The effects of the order can be seen already in the reports being issued by Border patrol. See these weekend update posts by US Border Patrol Chief Peter Jaquez:
Before the order, he reports 2,460 apprehensions for illegal crossing:
After the order, he only reports 57 apprehensions for smuggling:
Most public reporting by Border sources has just ceased altogether. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart that future releases of migrant data would be delayed.
So while allowing more border crossings than our nation has seen in its history, with total control of the border crossing narrative, the Biden administration's border numbers should look real cozy come the 2024 elections.
