Border Patrol agents in Arizona are beginning street releases of migrants in Tucson Arizona as they battle overcapacity amid a new surge in numbers at the border.
Border Patrol agents in Arizona have been dealing with new surges in migrant encounters at the southern border., obtained by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office as part of litigation, says daily encounters"[continue] to surpass the daily permanent bookouts and the in-custody numbers continue to rise creating significant risks to agents and detainees."
Consequently, the agency proposes"daily bookout targets" per sector"to bring in-custody numbers to manageable levels" based on 7-day averages. It then says that, if"consequence pathways" such as expedited removal are not available, then releasing migrants with Notices to Appear at a future court date should be used.
A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Border Patrol has"merely directed sectors to process individuals faster into the range of immigration pathways available, in order to address increasing numbers of individuals in custody." "These bookouts include processing record numbers of migrants into Expedited Removal and conducting record numbers of removal flights," the spokesperson said.
The Biden administration has taken significant criticism from Republicans on the border crisis, with critics blaming the record migrant numbers on the policies it has implemented after reversing Trump-era policies.instead blamed Republicans for having failed to approve funding to handle the crisis and of having failed to work with the administration to pass legislation to fix what it says is a"broken" system.
