Border patrol agents arrested record numbers of migrants illegally trying to cross into the US on Monday and Tuesday as the end of Title 42 looms, according to a report.

Over 10,300 migrants were apprehended Tuesday after they illegally attempted to enter the country, Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported, citing Customs and Border Protection sources. Over 10,000 more were reportedly nabbed Monday.

Both mark the highest single-day totals in the agency’s recorded history, according to the report.

Over 28,000 people were in custody as of Wednesday, a Department of Homeland Security official told CNN.

A spokesperson for the office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for confirmation.
