With more than 22,000 migrants being held in custody, a source within CBP says the Border Patrol is being forced to cut routine patrols.
With more than 22,000 migrants being held in custody, a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the Border Patrol is being forced to cut routine patrols along the border. In some areas, highway inspection checkpoints have been closed to accommodate another increase in the number of migrant crossings. On Monday alone, the agency apprehended more than 7,700 migrants nationwide.
In the Tucson Border Patrol Sector, agents assigned to patrol remote desert and mountain areas have been reassigned to a nearby processing center. In Douglas, Arizona, specialty enforcement units, such as the agency’s horse patrol and all-terrain-vehicle unit, have been left with only a skeleton crew to patrol close to the city, according to the source.
“This is it,” the source stated. “If smugglers go through closed checkpoints, it’s up to state and local law enforcement to pick up the slack, but it’s much harder. Legally, we can perform a brief immigration inspection of all travelers.” Other law enforcement agencies must have probable cause before making a traffic stop or conducting a vehicle search.
