CBP now describes this table as terrorism-related encounters. Such records may include the Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS); a TSDS-only subset is not separately supplied. These are encounter records, not confirmed terrorists, terrorism convictions, successful entries or a count of unique people. The source explicitly notes repeat encounters at ports. Between-port figures cover non-U.S. citizens; port figures cover all nationalities, including U.S. citizens. Do not combine the two as a noncitizen total. The source does not explain the large FY2025 port increase or establish a like-for-like historical scope; no causal explanation or growth rate is inferred. FY2026 through August is partial and is excluded from completed-year totals and annual charts.","source_type":"primary_government","raw_url":"/raw/cbp/terrorism-related/2026-09-19/99eaebac7ae361dc3a5be0d8213a94d60f427ea2e730021b413b988a7528e6dc.html.txt","sha256":"99eaebac7ae361dc3a5be0d8213a94d60f427ea2e730021b413b988a7528e6dc"}}
