Let's put back what you left out:
'Context
The number specifically reflected border encounters with U.S. officials,
not an increase of that magnitude in the immigrant population.'
And a little more from the Snopes article (and it becomes obvious why
you left off the link, doesn't it?)
'Snopes contacted the White House for comment about the Fox News
article. We received a response from a spokesperson for the Department
of Homeland Security, who said, in part, that U.S. President Joe Biden's
administration "has removed, returned, or expelled more migrants in
three years than the prior Administration did in four years." This also
was true, according to statistics provided on the DHS website. Further
comment from DHS and a wealth of statistics are all laid out below.'

Huh.
Remind me:
Whose administration immediately preceded Biden's?
And remember:
While the Republicans were criticizing Biden's handling of the border,
they were also refusing to pass a border reform bill...
...because Trump didn't want them to.
You should read the entire article...
...even if you need some help with the bigger words.
