According to official data from the US Customs and Border Patrols, 76,020 unaccompanied children and 473,682 "family units" -- which refers to either children or adults arriving with a member of their family -- were apprehended at the border between October 2018 and September 2019.

These figures are cumulative and do not reflect how many people are currently in detention.
