CHAMPLAIN, New York — Pictures of immigrant families stretch across the back wall of a United States Border Patrol station located on the U.S.-Canada border. It’s here in the northeastern tip of New York that more family arrivals showed up in fiscal 2019, which ended Oct. 1, than any of the other 49 northern Border Patrol stations between Washington state and Maine.

The Champlain Station is thousands of miles away from the southern border, which saw nearly half a million family members arrive in fiscal 2019, but agents here say they faced their own influx of families.
