A recent surge in migrant crossings has resulted in the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector occupying the number two spot in nationwide migrant apprehensions, according to a source within CBP.
The source says Border Patrol agents encountered nearly 25,000 migrants so far this month. U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales says the situation is only getting worse.
“They are holding 3,800 people in custody there … That’s an astronomical amount,” he explained. “That facility, which I have toured several times, can hold 1,050. We are looking at almost 400 percent over capacity.”released by the Border Patrol into the United States. The recent influx has local officials scrambling to accommodate the new arrivals.
Gonzales thinks things may get worse. “I get why the cities and states are trying to do something, these are historic numbers, this situation is getting more chaotic,” the Texas congressman stated. “Putting hundreds of people in a large city in homeless encampments is not a joke and it’s not normal. Every time I think we’ve hit the bottom, it goes lower.”
