CUBA RESPONDS TO NAFTA JOE BIDEN'S CALL FOR THE INVASION OF AMERICA - Cuban Apprehensions Have Tripled at the Border
Washington, D.C. (April 4, 2022) – The Center for Immigration Studies reports a news story widely reported in Spanish-language media, but not in U.S. media. Cuba and Nicaragua have opened a new air passageway to the U.S. southern border, allowing thousands of U.S.-bound Cubans have poured through the shortcut, while tens of thousands more are reportedly lining up daily in Havana for tickets, according to Spanish-language media reporting. The two governments cut the new deal for visa-free travel in November.
The Biden administration is now preparing to manage a massive anticipated surge of as many as 18,000 migrant crossings a day, or 540,000 per month, after May 23. That is the date it is scheduled to lift the last vestiges of Trump-era CDC “Title 42” pandemic entry restrictions, which have resulted in the expulsion of some 1.7 million illegal immigrant border crossers-- including Cubans-- to Mexico.
Todd Bensman, the Center’s senior national security fellow and author of the article, explained, “The November Havana-Managua deal neatly coincides with a major spike in U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions of Cubans at the Southwest Border. Recent apprehension numbers have tripled with 16,550 Cubans arriving in February. I expect the March numbers will be much higher now that Cubans have a May 23 date for when they can go over the line and find more of a welcome than they might get with Title 42 in place.”
DHS releases most Cubans into the country on special humanitarian parole slips. Their release on humanitarian parole lures even more Cubans seeking humanitarian parole, which draws greater numbers… And so forth.
Other secretive U.S. efforts to have foreign proxies undermine the Cuban flights and flow far south of the border are not working.
“Rather than to array forces to stop, block, deter and take asylum off the table, Biden’s DHS appears to be marshalling resources – people, transportation, housing, medical services -- to expand its capability to usher in all comers as smoothly as possible, vaccinate them against Covid-19, and then release them on humanitarian parole into the American interior as eventual ‘asylum seekers’ asked to self-report later to an immigration office”, Bensman explains.

(CNSNews.com) - A dire warning on Sunday from Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, one of many Republicans who is urging the Biden administration not to lift Title 42 on May 23.
Title 42, imposed by the CDC, is a public health measure that currently bars entry of some, but certainly not all, would-be asylum-seekers:
Hagerty joined "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo from the border in Laredo, Texas:
“I was here Friday evening when they put together what they call the evening muster,” he said:
“The leadership came out to tell the Border Patrol agents that, indeed, the president of the United States decided to lift the Title 42. That's the last tool that they have left to send people back -- back across the border.
“There was just a complete cloud of depression that fell over the room, Maria. That's the last tool left. They're already overwhelmed. They have got capacity to process perhaps 5,000 coming across the border. They're now getting 7,000.
“This could go to 15,000, 18,000 overnight. In fact, what the president has done is send an invitation to come to America. May 23, the border is going to collapse. There's going to be a tidal wave coming across this border.
“It's going to be a mass of drugs coming across the border, illegal activity. And there's going to be a tidal wave of humanity coming across the border at the same time. This is going to be a disaster of epic proportions.”
Hagerty said border agents have told him they won't be able to protect the border because they'll be "spending the entirety of their time processing paperwork, because, without Title 42, which can be handled in about 15 minutes, they have to go through a different process that takes an hour and 15 minutes.
“It'll take five times as many border agents to process the number of people coming across. It's going to be all paperwork, no border protection,” Hagerty said.
“The border is going to be open. I'm sure that the Chinese Communist Party is ramping up fentanyl production right now in China. They're shipping it to Mexico. The Mexican cartels are ramping up.
“There's going to be another flood of illegal drugs coming across the border, particularly after the 23rd of May.”
Hagerty said he brought mayors and sheriffs with him to the border, because they are dealing with the repercussions of illegal and deadly drugs every day:
"We're losing kids to overdoses every night and every day. The mayor of one of our smallest counties, Scott County, told me that she had 27 deaths due to overdoses in her county last year, 23 of them from fentanyl.
"The Chinese Communist Party's fingerprint is on every one of those deaths in my home state, Maria. They are waging war on us.
“Maria, I was on the phone with White House staff during the G20 conference in Buenos Aires when President Trump directly to President Xi he should not send fentanyl to the United States. President Trump demanded it. President Xi agreed.
"But President Xi never agreed to stop sending it to Mexico. And when Joe Biden decided to collapse the border here, basically, he's opened the door for the Chinese Communist Party to again begin to wage war on America's youth. And that's exactly what's happening."
Sen. Cornyn: 'If You Eliminate Title 42, the Border Patrol Tells Me They Will Lose Control'

(CNSNews.com) - Even as the Biden administration presses Congress for more money to deal with the apparently receding COVID pandemic, it plans to lift the public health measure -- Title 42 -- that has forced the return of tens of thousands of would-be asylum-seekers from the country.
Lifting Title 42 on May 23, as the plan currently stands, would be a big mistake, many Republicans say. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is one of them:
"Well, we've had 3 million border encounters during this pandemic so far, and you and I are still required, when we fly on an airplane or take public transportation, to wear masks because that's what the Transportation Security Administration has ordered," Cornyn told "Fox News Sunday."
"And really, the point is here, if you eliminate Title 42, this is the last tool that's been available to Border Patrol to try and maintain some semblance of order on the border, and if you eliminate Title 42, the Border Patrol tells me they will lose control and the people who will benefit the most are the drug cartels who will have free -- a freeway into the country with which to funnel the drugs that took 100,000 American lives last year alone."
According to Fox News, the Department of Homeland Security projects that with Title 42 rescinded, "there could be upwards of 18,000 illegal crossings every single day. That's more than double the current average of 7,000 per day."
Host Martha MacCallum noted that Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee has suggested keeping Title 42 in place as a public health measure to slow the flow of illegal and deadly drugs crossing the border -- drugs such as fentanyl that are killing so many Americans.
"I think he's got a good point," Cornyn said.
"But I think what we need to do is also to enforce our immigration laws. The administration considers it a success when they place migrants who come to the border in a location somewhere in the United States, and they wait for a year or more, their Immigration Court hearing for asylum, and many of them, this won't surprise you, don't show up.
"So this is a case of catch and release, which is a flawed policy, which never worked, and it won't work now. We need to enforce our existing immigration laws and do it aggressively, but the Biden administration shows no interest in doing so."

(CNSNews.com) - "We are in the midst of the worst border crisis in American history," Former Vice President Mike Pence told Fox News's Brian Kilmeade on Saturday.
"I don't have to tell your viewers they know that. But by announcing yesterday (Friday) that they're going to rescind Title 42 that our administration implemented allowing us to return people immediately across the border to Mexico is going to -- it's going to take -- it's going to make the worst border crisis in American history even worse," Pence continued:
"There are some estimates that 7,000 illegal immigrants are coming across the border every day now. It could be as many as 18,000 and look, I've got to tell you, this is -- you talk about -- I think Republicans and conservatives need to have a solid agenda.
"We just published one in the Freedom Agenda, but make no mistake about it, the radical left is in the saddle in the Democratic Party, and they are an open borders policy and whether it be when they stopped building the wall, when they ended remain in Mexico, this latest step of repealing Title 42, I think is all about advancing their open borders policy to the great detriment of the American people."
Even some "moderate" Democrats support the lifting of Title 42:
Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) chairs the New Democrat Coalition -- a group of 98 "solutions-oriented" Democrats who seek "to bridge the gap between left and right."
She told "Fox News Sunday" that she supports the lifting of Title 42, the public health measure that has kept many would-be illegal immigrants out of the country. The Biden administration plans to lift the order on May 23:
"Do you think this is a move that could hurt your party?" host Martha MacCallum asked DelBene:
"Well, I think this was a policy that was put in place to address the public health crisis, and it needs to be driven by the science. The CDC is making the decision on this. I support that decision. It won't go in place until May 23rd, and we have to make sure that we're not using that public health policy to undermine our immigration laws."
In response to a follow-up question, DelBene said she thinks the Title 42 decision "needs to be driven by the science, and I support the CDC's decision."
'Freedom Agenda'
Pence, who appears to be considering a run for president, unveiled his "Freedom Agenda" last week.
He calls it a "compelling, positive vision built on our highest ideals," border security among them:
"I first got involved in politics when Ronald Reagan was President. That's first time I ran for office and had the privilege of meeting President Reagan, and then I had the opportunity of being Vice President with President Donald Trump," Pence said.
"But all along the way, it was the American people advancing American ideals, traditional values, and a strong military. I mean, the very idea that that free market economics is at the very core of American prosperity, all became, you know, all became essentially bequeathed to the Republican Party.
“But when President Trump came to office, we added border security, we added fair trade, we added the importance of patriotic education, school choice, and of course, we changed the national consensus on China.
"What I did was bring together about three dozen of the top conservatives in the country and said: Can you lay out for us what that agenda is from Reagan to Trump? Because I really believe this is a movement...that has always been animated by ideas.”
Pence urged people to take a look at his Freedom Agenda: "And I think they will see the very ideas that carried us to the White House in 2016, carried Ronald Reagan in in 1980, and frankly, that's the pathway back for a stronger, more prosperous America built on our highest ideals."
BLOG EDITOR:
Our definition of a lawyer is one who is institutionally trained in law school to LIE, CHEAT, COMMIT PERJURY, ORCHESTRATE PERJURY and ultimately GAME THE LEGAL SYSTEM. While they perpetrate these actions the lawyer will be sucking the blood out of their clients or the Nation itself. We only have to look at the political lives of lawyer Joe Biden, his lawyer son, Hunter Biden, and his lawyer brother, James Biden as well as bribes sucking sociopath lawyer Kamala Harris and her parasite lawyer husband, Douglas Emhoff.
We are all familiar with the staggering lawless regime of Barack Obama, describes as a sociopath by Ben Carson, M.D., and then there is the crime dual of Bill Clinton (impeached and disbarred), and his partner in crime Hillary Clinton described by Julian Assange as a “sadistic sociopath”.
This blog has dedicated a substantial amount of time to exposing the crimes of these gamer lawyers and the institutions that enable, protect and abet their criminality.
Lawyers are substantially nothing but parasites feeding on America and, as a class, constitute this Nation’s greatest threat to democracy and the American middle class.
The LAWYER CLASS is comprised of the entire Judicial, from servants of Wall Street on the Supreme Court, the bribes sucking lawyer-politicians who exist to serve primarily banksters, and billionaires and all the way down to the lowest sociopath lawyer-judges who exist to protect the special interests, primarily the business interests and to game the laws, which for lawyer do not really exist, for that judge’s particular special interests. That said, there is no special interest more important to the LAWYER CLASS than lawyers themselves.
HOW MANY OF THESE PIGS ARE GAMER LAWYERS?
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton (LAWYERS-2) Foundation and the (LAWYERS-2) Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden (LAWYERS-3) family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the (LAWYER) Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (YOU CAN ADD LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS, BANKSTER’S RENT BOY LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER, AND THE LYING GROPPER BROTHERS LAWYERS ANDREW AND CHRIS CUOMO TO THE PANTHEON OF DEMOCRAT BRIBES SUCKING CORRUPT LAWYER POLITICIANS!).

Joe Biden Faces Supreme Court Review of His ‘Catch and Release’ Policy
President Joe Biden and border chief Alejandro Mayorkas are fuelling the migration wave into Americans’ jobs by ignoring the law that says migrants must be detained until their asylum cases are decided.
However, the Supreme Court will review the legality of Biden’s catch-and-release policy on April 26 in the Biden v. Texas lawsuit. The review will take place one month before Biden and Mayorkas lift the Title 42 barrier on May 23 and open the borders to an unlimited inflow of asylum-claiming migrants.
Federal law says any migrant on U.S. soil can apply for asylum. But the law also says: “Mandatory detention: Any alien subject to the procedures under this clause shall be detained pending a final determination of credible fear of persecution and, if found not to have such a fear, until removed.”
“The [federal] statute is very clear that aliens who show up at the border without documentation or a visa are supposed to be detained throughout their entire immigration court proceedings,” said Rob Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy for the Center for Immigration Studies.
“Non-U.S. nationals (aliens) apprehended by immigration authorities when attempting to unlawfully enter the United States … must be detained while awaiting removal,” the Congressional Research Service wrote on May 10, 2019.
But Mayorkas refuses to detain the migrants, despite the damage to Americans. Mayorkas also minimizes the use of the Migration Protection Protocols program, which effectively detains migrants in Mexico until their cases are complete.
Instead, he releases about 60,000 migrants each month into the United States under a variety of legal claims, as an additional 40,000 job-seeking migrants sneak across the border.
This catch-and-release policy allows the migrants to quickly get the jobs that they need to repay their debts to coyotes, cartels, and banks. So the policy fuels the cartels’ conveyor belt of labor and cash, and it allows people from many countries in Africa, South America, and Asia to fund their illegal entry into Americans’ labor and housing markets. The inflow of illegals skews the national economy in favor of investors, employers, and the coastal states.
Mayorkas is just one of numerous officials who have ignored the detention-until-completion law, according to the CRS report: “For many years, immigration authorities had construed governing statutes and regulations to … [ensure] alien could seek bond and potentially be released from custody during the pendency of those proceedings.”
The hands-off, no-enforcement policy was reversed by President Donald Trump’s Attorney General, Bill Barr, the CRS report notes:
On April 16, 2019 in [a legal directive titled] Matter of M-S-, however, Attorney General (AG) William Barr reversed this position, ruling instead that aliens apprehended between ports of entry and placed in formal removal proceedings following a credible fear determination remain ineligible for bond [and release].
In conclusion, the statutory text, the implementing regulations, and the Supreme Court’s decision in Rodriguez all lead to the same conclusion: that all aliens transferred from expedited to full proceedings after establishing a credible fear are ineligible for bond. [release].
Even pro-migration advocates concede the point. The American Immigration Council, for example, said on March 17, 2022:
The United States has broad authority to detain certain categories of immigrants, migrants, and others seeking humanitarian protection as their proceedings wind their way through the immigration legal system.
The detention law has been on the books since the 1996 reforms, said Law, adding:
It was the George W. Bush/Republican “Any Willing Worker” [policy] that was the beginning of just disregarding the mandatory detention provision. That let economic migrants loose into the interior of the country [supposedly to] show up to their court hearings. But as word got out that this is how the United States was treating migrants, more and more and more [migrants] came and overloaded the [asylum] system.
Trump tried to create a hard reset through [Migrant Protection Protocols] MPP and other deterrence and enforcement measures, but then Biden comes and just basically blows up the entire detention provisions of the [Immigration and Naturalization Act] INA.
The lower court judges in the Biden v. Texas case directed Biden’s deputies to either detain the migrants or keep them in Mexico until their asylum cases is resolved. So far, Mayorkas has sent only a few hundred migrants back to Mexico under MPP. In February, he released almost 73,480 migrants and sent just 93 back to Mexico under MPP.
Some GOP politicians recognize the government-backed labor migration hidden inside the overloaded asylum process.
“We are telling people ‘If you come to the border, and you claim asylum … You can come in,’” Sen. Bob Portman (R-PA) said on March 30. He continued:
By the way, there’s a 1.5 million person backlog for dealing with asylum claims — 1.5 million! This means that when you are allowed into the country to await an immigration judge looking at your case, there will be anywhere from four to six years before your case is considered. While you’re in the United States, … you’re working, your [illegal migrant] kids are going to school, you’re getting your health care, you’re part of the community.
And obviously a lot of these people don’t show up for their [asylum] court case. Some do, some don’t. But the point is this system is attracting people to the border.
Federal immigration law exists to protect the American right to a level playing field in the labor economy from unscrupulous employers, officials, and politicians — such as President George. W. Bush and his “Any Willing Worker” pitch.
Under 8 U.S. Code § 1324a, passed by Congress in 1952, employers are barred from hiring foreigners unless the foreigners have work permits:
(A) to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien (as defined in subsection (h)(3)) with respect to such employment …
But three decades of legal and illegal migration has delivered roughly 45 million workers, consumers, and renters into the U.S. economy. That imported population has delivered a colossal windfall to CEOs, investors, and Wall Street.
The mass inflow of legal and illegal immigrants has helped shift roughly $500 billion a year in wages from American employees to investors, according to data in the 2016 report on immigration by the National Academies of Science.
The white-collar visa programs have helped to shrink salaries for American tech graduates and nurses, and to inflate the stock value of Fortune 500 companies by $100 billion, according to migration advocates. Those programs have also helped the C-Suite in many Fortune 500 companies by pushing millions of outspoken American professionals out of tech careers, according to data in a 2021 study by the Census Bureau.
The migration programs have also shifted wages, investment, and wealth from interior cities and states — Detroit and West Virginia, for example — to the migration-inflated coasts.
The mass inflow of at least 20 million illegal migrant laborers has pushed many Americans into poverty. The March 22 report by the Oxfam anti-poverty group said: “more than 31.9 percent of the US labor force, or 51.9 million workers, currently make less than $15 per hour, and many are stuck at the federal minimum wage, which is less than half of that hourly rate.”
The damage was sketched out by the Washington Post‘s March 20 description of Dave Ramsey, in Lincoln Park, Mich.:
He’d modeled himself after his father, umpiring alongside him in high school and riding with him on private investigations to train as his apprentice. But if his father’s middle class ambitions had fallen apart after 50 years, Dave Jr.’s collapsed by the time he turned 20. He dropped out of school against his father’s advice so he could make some quick money laying cable, got injured at work and then got addicted to the prescription fentanyl patches. He’d gotten clean and stayed that way for the past nine years while taking care of his father and his daughters. He’d even gone back to school at night to earn his diploma, but the life available to him didn’t include the Masons, or a union job, or a thriving American middle class. Instead he’d hustled his way through a series of contracting jobs that paid a living wage one week and nothing the next, until the family’s monthly bills were so far beyond its means that Dave Sr. started burying them in the bottom of a box.
Coastal business groups are cheering the Title 42 takedown. A statement from the Zuckerberg-funded FWD.us advocacy group for West Coast investors said:
The goal should be a functional migration system broader than asylum. This requires expanding legal immigration avenues … Ending Title 42 is only one tiny piece of building that functional migration system,” said the group, whose wealthy founders gain more stock market wealth as the federal government extracts more workers, consumers, and renters for use in the U.S. economy.
But D.C. reporters are oblivious to the law and the economics, in part, because most are pressured by editors to focus on the migrants’ dramatic journeys.
In a call with Department of Homeland Security officials on Friday, agency officials invited questions from at least six favored reporters. But none of the reporters questioned the legality of releasing economic migrants into Americans’ labor market or the impact on Americans. Similarly, CNN’s Jake Tapper interviewed Mayorkas on April 1 and did not question the legality of Mayorkas’s open-borders policies.
Many polls show the public wants to like immigration and immigrants — but it also wants to prioritize fellow Americans.
For example, a March 18-21 poll of 1,050 registered voters by Echelon Insights reported that 29 percent of Americans strongly agreed that “America should not increase the number of immigrants it lets in, as immigrants could lower wages, take jobs away from Americans, and be a drain on taxpayers.”
Just 21 percent strongly agreed that “America should increase the number of immigrants it lets in, as immigrants will help address labor market shortages, start businesses, and revitalize declining cities and towns.”
The government’s operation of the nation’s immigration system is designed to deceive the public and the media about the large-scale extraction of workers and consumers from poor countries, Law said.
It’s always “Can you do just enough to deceive the public?” … Any removals that are done by the administration are simply [driven by] bad optics, such as the Haitians congregating under the [Del Rio] bridge, when they just can’t get away from the bad publicity. [Then they] say, “Oh, we’re not totally open borders, we’re using our limited resources to get the worst actors.”
The government’s cooperation with the cartels is hidden behind theatrical enforcement of borders laws and a curtain of legal complexity, he said:
They are partners in this business transaction of importing people and workers into the United States. This is this is a mutually beneficial arrangement where the cartels are being enriched by all these people who are paying the money for the transport, and the Biden administration willingly welcomes them, helps process them, and places them wherever they want to be the inside of the country …. So this is 100% a very corrupt business arrangement between the cartels and the Biden ministration.
But the Supreme Court case is exposing the hard-nosed reality of migration behind the border theater, said Law, adding “This is a seminal moment about whether or not we are a nation that has the ability to determine who comes into our country.”
Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty to Helping Murder Legal Immigrant Who Exposed $3.5M Illegal Hiring Scheme
An illegal alien has pleaded guilty to operating a massive $3.5 million illegal hiring scheme in Savannah, Georgia, and helping orchestrate the murder of a legal immigrant who blew the whistle on the scheme.
Last week, 53-year-old illegal alien Pablo Rangel-Rubio of Mexico pleaded guilty to working with two other illegal aliens in employing at least 100 illegal aliens for a tree service company and helping murder Eliud Montoya, a naturalized American citizen, after he reported the scheme to the federal government.
As Breitbart News reported in 2018, Rangel-Rubio and his illegal alien brother Juan Rangel-Rubio, 45-years-old, along with 52-year-old illegal alien Higinio Perez-Bravo were charged with running the illegal hiring scheme where they employed at least 100 illegal aliens for the tree service company.
As part of the scheme, Rangel-Rubio hired the illegal aliens and secured them with stolen Social Security Numbers (SSNs) of American citizens to fraudulently bypass U.S. labor laws. Rangel-Rubio would also conceal the illegal alien hires by taking their paychecks, cashing them, and paying the hires in cash while skimming money from their checks for himself.
Montoya, in April 2017, contacted the tree service company to report what Rangel-Rubio and the two other illegal aliens were doing. Rangel-Rubio was given a copy of Montoya’s complaint to the company.
Montoya also contacted the federal government in August 2017 to report the scheme. Just two days later, Montoya was murdered nearby his residence in Garden City, Georgia. As part of his plea agreement, Rangel-Rubio admitted to his helping in Montoya’s murder.
“Pablo Rangel-Rubio was responsible for employing at least 100 illegal aliens to work for a tree service, skimming from their paychecks to further fatten his wallet, and then helping arrange the murder of a man who exposed the scheme,” U.S. Attorney David Estes said in a statement.
While Juan Rangel-Rubio and Higinio Perez-Bravo are awaiting trial, Pablo Rangel-Rubio is facing 50 years in federal prison. His sentencing will take place at a later date.

EXCLUSIVE: Border Patrol Apprehends 1 Million Migrants in 2022
EAGLE PASS, Texas — A source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the Border Patrol has now apprehended more than 1 million migrants at the southwest sectors in Fiscal Year 2022. The benchmark was reportedly reached Thursday and signals the federal agency is again poised to break records.
The source says nearly 8,000 migrants were apprehended on Wednesday, breaking the single-day record for migrant encounters at the southwest border. Nearly 7 of 10 migrants apprehended since October 1 are single adults, according to the source. The source says limited removal pathways are contributing to overcrowding at Border Patrol processing facilities.
On multiple occasions last week, the source says the agency encountered large migrant groups numbering more than 200 in size. On Sunday, one single group of 187 crossed the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass and quickly surrendered.
The source says limited removal options are causing large amounts of released migrants. The only significant tool is the Trump era emergency Title 42 COVID-19 CDC order, which could quickly expel applicable migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador with minimal administrative processing.
Mexico, according to the source, will not accept family units with small children. In January 2021, the Biden Administration excluded unaccompanied migrant children from expulsion under the emergency order — which resulted in an unprecedented surge of the same cohort.
The order, according to the source, is expected to end soon and will eliminate the widely used pathway of removal. The source says part of the current surge is fueled by an increase in migrants from Cuba. In February, 16,550 Cubans were apprehended along the southwest border. The total represents a more than 300% spike compared to the same month in 2021.
The source says most of the Cuban migrants are released, as opposed to facing the court-ordered re-implementation of the Remain in Mexico program. The source says fewer than 100 of the 16,550 Cubans arrested in February were kept in that country per the policy.
Reaching the million-migrant mark has brought about another hardship on the agency, according to the source. With facility overcrowding and the need to transport, process, and provide humanitarian care to many people, human resources are overwhelmed. Agents are no longer capable of routine patrols in many areas, the source contends.
Certain areas of the border are not routinely patrolled and the federal agency relies on state and local law enforcement to detain migrants in western Texas.
