Encounters include both Title 8 (immigration law) apprehensions and Title 42 (public health law) expulsions. In the first eight months of FY2023, UC encounters by CBP's U.S. Border Patrol (88,089) between U.S. ports of entry (POEs) were roughly comparable to the first eight months of FY2022 (98,629), the year when UC encounters reached an all-time high (149,093). In FY2021, total UC encounters numbered 144,834, a record then and almost double the previous record set in FY2019 (76,020). Since February 2021, UC encounters have consistently exceeded 8,500 per month, higher than any period since CBP began publishing UC statistics. The highest monthly total ever recorded (18,715) was in March 2021. Figure I.
