Large Migrant Groups, Unaccompanied Minors Apprehended in Arizona Desert near Border
Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended three large groups of migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Arizona over the weekend. The agents also discovered three unaccompanied minors including a nine-year-old girl wandering by themselves near the border wall and a dangerous canal.
Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem tweeted an image of three unaccompanied minors walking by themselves along between a border wall and a dangerous irrigation canal on Sunday morning.
The agents took the nine-year-old girl and two boys, ages 12 and 17, into custody and processed them for transfer to ICE and Health and Human Services officials.
Also over the weekend, Yuma Sector agents apprehended three large groups of migrants near County Road 17 and the Salinity Canal. The three groups contained 42, 79, and 98 migrants respectively.
During the month of March, the last numbers officially released at this time, Yuma Sector agents apprehended 11,809 migrants. Reports show 5,231 of those were family unit aliens, 5,813 were single adult aliens, and 765 were unaccompanied alien children.
Clem tweeted that his agents apprehended 24 unaccompanied migrants just in the last week.
Since the beginning of Fiscal Year 21, which began on October 1, 2020, Yuma Sector agents apprehended 11,654 single adults, 8,183 family units, and 1,707 unaccompanied minors.
April migrant apprehension numbers are expected to be released later this week.

White House Said There Was No Gas Shortage Before Acknowledging Problems Hours Later
The White House repeatedly reassured Americans on Monday there was no gas shortage in the United States after the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack before acknowledging supply problems hours later.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki brought Homeland Security advisor Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall and Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technologies Anne Neuberger to reassure Americans the Biden administration was on top of the crisis, urging Americans to remain calm.
“Right now, there is not a supply shortage,” Sherwood-Randall told reporters at the daily press briefing.
Psaki also note “at this point in time, I would just reiterate: We don’t see a supply issue.”
President Joe Biden spoke about the issue later, reassuring Americans he was acting to “mitigate any impact on our fuel supply” with preparations for additional steps if needed.
But as reports of gas shortages emerged and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency in the state, the White House admitted Monday evening there was a problem.
“We are monitoring supply shortages in parts of the Southeast and are evaluating every action the Administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible,” she wrote in a statement sent to reporters.
First-hand reports of gas shortages on the East Coast emerged on social media Monday evening and Tuesday morning as drivers were alarmed to discover gas stations without fuel.
