In addition to the record-breaking year for migrant apprehensions along the southwest border, the Biden Administration can notch another historical claim in 2021 with 11 Border Patrol agents dying in the line of duty. This number eclipses all records dating back to 1919, when the Department of Labor was responsible for immigration matters.

In 1919, Mounted Guard Member Clarence Childress of the Department of Labor’s Immigration Service was shot and killed while patrolling near El Paso, Texas. Although the formal birthday for the Border Patrol is May 28, 1924, when it became an agency under the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Childress, is considered to be the first federal patrol agent killed in the line.

Since the earliest recorded death when Childress was killed in a gunfight with smugglers, the Border Patrol has never suffered as many lines of duty losses as seen in 2021. Of the 11, nine died of COVID-19. The 2021 record eclipses one standing since 1998, when six died.

The combination of a historic migrant surge with a pandemic as the executive branch takes actions to exacerbate the situation has proven deadly.

In some Border Patrol facilities this year, overcrowding exceeded 500 percent of the COVID-19 recommended capacity. The Border Patrol does not turn away detainees at any level. If more arrests are made, more migrants are squeezed into any available space. Agents will be required to process and care for the men, women, and children pushed into those facilities without regard for their own safety.

In other law enforcement circles, detention capacity levels are rigid and seldom breached and never at what was required for Border Patrol.

Agents spend their duty time rescuing migrants from deserts, drowning in the Rio Grande, and the clutches of inhumane smugglers. They have given comfort and care to more than 150,000 unaccompanied migrant children this year.

I had the privilege of working closely with two of the 11 agents. I knew each of them for more than 20 years. All were taken too soon by acts of negligence at the highest levels of government. I feel the same loss for the others that I did not know personally. I know the sacrifice Border Patrol agents willingly make to perform a sometimes-thankless job. That, they all have in common.

In a five-day period in September of this year alone, three agents died of COVID-19 in the performance of duties. The White House has made no public mention of their sacrifices. But President Joe Biden was quick to publicly announce his assumptions that Border Patrol agents were “strapping” migrants on horseback.

Since January, President Biden has failed to apply Title 42 COVID-19 CDC expulsion protocols consistently, choosing instead to self-impose limitations that increased the likelihood of infection to Border Patrol agents in the detention setting. Biden immediately revoked Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACA) with Central American countries that allowed for swift return of Central American northern triangle migrants to a safe third country.

Biden ended the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) that required migrants, most fleeing poverty who will not qualify for relief, to await adjudication of asylum applications in Mexico.

Biden refused to consistently test migrants for COVID-19 in the detention setting and prior to release into communities across the country. Still, as the president issues wide-scale vaccination mandates but none apply to migrants detained or released into the United States.

The Biden Administration should take note that Border Patrol Agents Alfredo M. Ibarra, David B. Ramirez, Luis H. Dominguez, Chad E. McBroom, Ricardo Zarate, Daniel P. Cox, Edgardo Acosta-Feliciano, Juan Manuel Urrutia, Freddie Vasquez, Christopher Shane Simpkins, and Alejandro Flores-Banuelos died honorably under its watch.

Collectively, they served for more than 196 years. They leave behind nine widows, one an expectant mother, 25 children, and one grandchild.

Memo: Biden Admin Weighing Plans To Send Migrants to Vermont

Internal deliberations come after crisis in Del Rio, Texas

The crisis on the southwest border is forcing the Department of Homeland Security to consider flying migrants all the way to Vermont for processing, according to internal documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Federal immigration agencies are preparing contingency plans for a chaotic fall and winter that include looking to states thousands of miles away for assistance. According to a memo obtained by the Free Beacon, DHS is husbanding resources for the "unconfirmed" transfer of migrants to New York and Vermont and awaiting a response from Border Patrol about the number of additional processing machines required.

A spokeswoman for Customs and Border Protection declined to address the Vermont relocation plans, saying the department does not comment on leaked information.

The Oct. 6 memo indicates that federal officials are considering moving migrants to the Swanton Sector, a Border Patrol site that encompasses 24,000 square miles and includes the entire state of Vermont, as well as broad swaths of upstate New York and New Hampshire. The internal deliberations come just weeks after more than 10,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti, arrived in Del Rio, Texas, and sparked a humanitarian crisis in the border town.

The Swanton Sector, documents show, would require across-the-board upgrades to facilities in order to expand capacity. New computers and cellular systems for internet connection are just two of the technology overhauls required for the mission. The document did not indicate how many migrants the Swanton Sector should expect if they are indeed processed there.

"The idea of moving migrants from Haiti and South America to one of the country’s coldest regions shows how disastrous the situation is on the southern border and that DHS is running low on options," one senior DHS official said, noting the peculiar nature of potentially relocating people more acclimated to the warmer climates of South America.

More than 1.5 million migrants have crossed the southern border in 2021, with that number expected to reach 2 million by the end of the year given current trends. The month of August saw 208,887 encounters, with July recording the most encounters in more than two decades.

The release of migrants into border towns has created tension with mayors and city officials. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated concerns by local leaders on the border that the release of migrants puts further strain on public health facilities.

An inspector general report released in September concluded that the Biden administration has yet to implement a "formal" COVID-19 testing policy for migrants. Most holding facilities are operating far beyond capacity, making "proper physical distancing" impossible, per the IG.

Some cities, such as Laredo, Texas, have filed lawsuits against the Biden administration in order to stop DHS’s practice of dropping off migrants on the streets. Citing overwhelmed hospitals, Laredo officials called the Biden administration’s conduct a direct threat to the health of residents.

The inspector general and critics of the Biden administration say that the administration’s decision not to fully use Title 42—a federal law that allows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to effectively shut down the nation’s border during a health crisis—continues creating incentives for migrants from around the world to come to the border and apply for asylum. President Joe Biden has expanded Title 42 exemptions to include unaccompanied minors as well as family units, while focusing on deporting single men without a humanitarian-related reason to stay in the country.

The Biden administration is trying to end the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy that forces asylum seekers to wait outside the United States before their asylum court hearing. The Supreme Court ruled against the Biden administration's request for a stay on a federal court ruling that found Biden acted unlawfully when trying to end the program. Proponents of "Remain in Mexico" argue the program deters migrants without credible claims of asylum from entering the country.

GOP Rep. Gonzales: ‘Life on the Border Is Hell for Us’

During a Monday interview with Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) highlighted the ongoing issues at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Gonzales, who represents a district along the border, described the border crisis as “hell.” He said the situation there is getting “worse” and lamented that President Joe Biden is “doing nothing to secure this border.”

“As most people, you know, have … Columbus Day off, life on the border is hell for us,” Gonzales emphasized. “You know, in Del Rio, I was there last week with a couple of members of Congress. This was after kind of the peak of what we saw, the 15,000-plus under the bridge, and nothing really has changed. Border Patrol sector chiefs are telling me over 850 migrants are being caught every day. They’re also telling me that under that bridge, there is remnants of yellow fever, tuberculosis, COVID. They’re taking samples of the soil there under the bridge. It’s pure chaos. Now, 90 miles from there is a little town called Sonora. Just a couple of days ago, there was a high-speed chase through Sonora. This isn’t anything new. Sadly, things along the border are getting worse, and Joe Biden is canceling the wall. He’s canceling contracts. This administration is doing nothing to help secure this border.”

“[T]here is a threat on our southern border — drugs, terrorism, not to mention the violence that the cartels offer. Meanwhile, it also impacts us financially. You know, our communities along the border rely on that commerce and trade between Mexico. The chaos that Joe Biden has caused is impacting everybody,” he added.
