The Border Patrol Union accused federal agencies of tipping off illegal immigrants by announcing a 'targeted enforcement operation' in Texas hours before it was set to take place.
Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin has the latest from the border in Brownsville, Texas on 'Special Report.'Monday night for announcing a"targeted enforcement operation" in Texas to remove or detain illegal immigrants – accusing the feds of tipping off migrants hours before the operation is supposed to take place.
"Nothing like publicly announcing that dangerous people will be arrested, while warning them ahead of time exactly where to run and hide to avoid arrest," the Border Patrol Union tweeted late Monday evening. The National Border Patrol Council, which represents approximately 18,000 Border Patrol agents and support personnel, went on to say the entire operation was a"sad joke" and"another pandering PR stunt."An aerial view shows migrants waiting to cross the Rio Bravo into the U.S. before the Title 42 policy, which allows for the immediate expulsion of irregular migrants entering the country, comes to an end, in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on May 8, 2023.
