Reinforcements sent to the U.S.-Mexico border to prepare for a possible increase in illegal immigration as COVID-19 restrictions are set to end on Thursday.
Hundreds of specialized investigative agents and air marshals from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are being pulled from day-to-day duties to help with border management, sources said, leading to pushback from some employees who argue they are being reassigned to menial tasks.
The policy shift is expected to lead to a rise in border arrivals as a result of pent-up demand and the perception among migrants that they will be allowed into the country. "We don't know who is encouraging them. That is the million-dollar question. We think it might be the traffickers," said Enrique Lucero, director of migrant affairs for the city of Tijuana in Mexico.
In recent days, the National Guard suppressed migrant crossings at Brownsville, Abbott said at a news conference, the same city where a driver plowed into a group of migrants on Sunday.In addition, 250 to 300 agents with the investigative arm of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be detailed to aid border operations, two U.S. officials who requested anonymity to discuss internal operations said.
