## Resource

Border encounters surged in May with nearly 10,000 migrants—up 11% from April—mostly in South Texas, though still far below last year’s record. Single adults and unaccompanied children crossed at their highest levels since October. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin insists enforcement is tight, claiming zero “catch and release” cases for the 13th straight month. Meanwhile, drug seizures jumped dramatically: fentanyl up 72%, overall drugs up 32%, signaling a dangerous uptick in narcotics trafficking.
