That does not change the amount of illegals that entered since Biden.
Shocking 3.8 million migrants have entered the US since Biden took office — 1.5 million sneaked in and are still here
Over the last three years, 2,345,600 people have been granted Notices to Appear (NTAs) before an immigration court, according to figures compiled by Syracuse University’s TRAC immigration database.
NTAs are issued to people who arrive on US soil, hand themselves in to Border Patrol and claim asylum. If they are deemed to potentially have a case, they are assigned a hearing — often years in advance — where a judge will determine if they can remain in the country or will be deported. The filings provide an accurate picture of the number of migrants entering the country.
Over 1.23 million of those NTAs were issued in the Department of Homeland Security’s financial year 2023 alone, which runs from October 1 to September 30.

Back in May, Mexican drug cartels smuggled $5 million worth of fentanyl, including 300,000 fentanyl pills into the Bronx, before being caught by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
In January, following an eight-month investigation, the Department of Justice charged nine members of the Latin Kings gang in New Jersey with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, and with manufacturing untraceable gun parts to illegally create automatic weapons.
The current DEA Administrator has said that the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels, use “multi-city distribution networks” and “violent local street gangs…to flood American communities with fentanyl and methamphetamine, drive addiction, fuel violence, and kill Americans.” Because of the failed policies of the Biden administration, cartels can smuggle into the United States those who want to avoid apprehension by the U.S. Border Patrol. Since President Biden took office, the Border Patrol has reported over 1.5 million gotaways, who successfully evaded apprehension.
One of the violent street gangs that drug cartels employ is MS-13. Just last year, Nassau County residents were reminded of the dangers of MS-13 after the gang members who senselessly murdered 22-year old Carlos Rivas-Majano in Uniondale in 2017 were sentenced for their heinous crimes.
We know that MS-13 operates closely with the cartels, serving as their foot soldiers and human traffickers. And now they are taking advantage of Biden’s open border policies.
In Fiscal Year 2022, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended more than 300 members of MS-13. With two months remaining in Fiscal Year 2023, they’ve apprehended another 150. With over 1.5 million known gotaways, we have no way of knowing how many more MS-13 members have successfully snuck through our porous borders and found their way to America’s neighborhoods, including in New York.

They estimated that cartels were trafficking between 250,000 and 1 million weapons every year, with a retail value of up to $500 million, not including ammunition and tactical supplies, according to intelligence analysis reviewed by CBS News.
