Agents nab 10 more terrorism suspects at the southern border in July

Border Patrol agents caught 10 more terrorism suspects at the U.S.-Mexico boundary in July, according to new numbers released by Homeland Security on Monday.

Fentanyl seizures at the southern border also hit an all-time high, suggesting the overall flow of the deadly drug is skyrocketing.

Customs and Border Protection reported nabbing 2,072 pounds of fentanyl at the border, up from just 640 pounds in June, and obliterating the previous record set in April of 1,281 pounds.

Officials believe that seizures are a yardstick of overall flow, so the more seized, the more is likely to be getting through.
