is calling for agents to volunteers to shift their deployment to the northern border as one overwhelmed sector of the often-overlooked border has seen a massive surge in illegal crossings -- with an enormous 846% increase this fiscal year.
In the email, Garcia says that the increase is attributable primarily to"Mexican migrants with no legal documents" entering the U.S. from Canada. "Due to the strain caused by this surge, USBP HQ is seeking volunteers from the Northern and Southern Border Sectors to temporarily detail additional personnel to [Swanton Sector] to increase detention and custody operations, transportation, and flight line security operations."
