evidence: "Our agents are very busy," said Josh Cozzens, special operations supervisor for the border patrol’s Swanton Sector, which is based in Vermont but also oversees New Hampshire and parts of northern New York. "We have seen a number of apprehensions that we’ve never seen in our recorded history in this area." [...] Cozzens declined to provide data showing what portion of that increase is in Vermont, specifically, because of "operational and security purposes." The data shows the Swanton Sector accounts for the vast majority — about 80% — of border patrol apprehensions along the entire northern border so far this federal fiscal year. [...] At the time, border patrol was pointing to a tenfold increase year-over-year in migrant apprehensions in the Swanton Sector — and that figure has continued to increase.
