Illegal border crossings in San Diego dropped 93% in early 2026, with record drug seizures despite fewer apprehensions.
Illegal border crossings in the San Diego Sector dropped 93% in the first two months of fiscal 2026, reaching the lowest level since the 1960s with 1,793 apprehensions, according to U.S. Border Patrol officials.
Chief Agent Justin De La Torre credited the decline to stricter enforcement, including no longer releasing apprehended individuals into the U.S., which reduced incentives for illegal entry and allowed agents to focus on interdiction.
Increased deportations disrupted smuggling networks and reduced human exploitation.
Despite fewer crossings, narcotics seizures remained high, with 970 pounds of methamphetamine, 555 pounds of cocaine, and 113 pounds of fentanyl intercepted, continuing a record-breaking trend from the previous fiscal year.
Officials urged the public to report suspicious activity.
