The U.S. Border Patrol said Friday it would fly hundreds of migrant families from south Texas to San Diego for processing.
Plans to fly migrants from Rio Grande Valley to Detroit, Miami and Buffalo, N.Y., were preliminary, Harrison said. Authorities were researching available airports and whether nonprofit groups had the ability to provide temporary assistance. ICE will decide whether to release or detain the families in San Diego. Its practice since October has been to quickly release families in the U.S. with notices to appear in immigration court.
Short flights cost the federal government about $6,000 each, officials said. It wasn’t immediately clear how much the longer flights would cost.
