GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN FINDS A WAY TO GAME THE LAWS AND BORDERS ...... AGAIN! - Biden to announce new plan for migration -- at a summit Mexico is boycotting

 What's more, Mexico generally benefits from shipping its surplus uneducated population to the states to take the pressure valve off the potential for unrest. Corrupt Mexican officials often reap "fees" from letting illegal migrants from other countries as well as their own pass through their territory. 


Biden to announce new plan for migration -- at a summit Mexico is boycotting

Here's the latest bright-bulb idea from Joe Biden, who's hosting the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles on June 6-10: 

His new coming plan "to tackle increasing migration."

According to Reuters:

WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will seek regional consensus on a new economic agenda to build on existing trade agreements with Latin America and present a plan to tackle increasing migration when he hosts the Summit of the Americas, senior U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

Previewing Biden's priorities for the June 6-10 gathering in Los Angeles, administration officials said his message will be that "we can't do business as usual" in the hemisphere. But they offered few specifics on how he would address the challenges exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Really? The guy who invited 2 million illegal migrants in as "asylum seekers" is now wanting to keep them out? That's just a whiff of the problem, here's the big one: Mexico has no intention of attending the conference.

Mexico and a whole lot of the rest of the 34 or so countries in the regional grouping are planning to boycott the gathering, because Biden has not invited Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua to come.

"If all of the countries are not invited, I am not going to attend," Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador reiterated Friday. He's repeatedly said all of the region's countries must be invited, including those that Washington considers authoritarian and are under U.S. sanctions -- Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.

Criticism like that has had the Biden administration scrambling to shore up attendance, including by dispatching Vice President Kamala Harris, first lady Dr. Jill Biden, and a special adviser for the summit, former Democratic senator Chris Dodd.

The odds are there that Biden will cave and invite the hellhole regimes, which will make America look rather weak. But thus far, he hasn't. U.S. officials, according to the Reuters report, are downplaying the possibility of any problems to the plan with Mexico not in attendance.

Yeah, sure.

But with Mexico likely out, all we have are questions as to what kind of migration plan is this?

Mexico is the transit point for the 2 million illegal migrants who have been crossing our border in record numbers ever since Biden took office. Mexico's infamous cartels and human smuggling networks advertise for illegals, facilitate the transfer, and make huge profits off the endeavor.

What's more, Mexico generally benefits from shipping its surplus uneducated population to the states to take the pressure valve off the potential for unrest. Corrupt Mexican officials often reap "fees" from letting illegal migrants from other countries as well as their own pass through their territory. And once the migrants get to the states, there are the remittances -- migrants send billions in remittances that benefit the Mexican government through its banking system and by serving as a welfare system to the remainers so that Mexico doesn't need to support them itself.

To not include Mexico in this new coming masterplan from Biden is an exercise in futility, unless Biden plans go it alone, fire his Homeland Security chief, Alejandro Mayorkas and resume building President Trump's wall. Not even President Trump did that, of course. Trump had no problem negotiating bilateral agreements with Mexico to keep illegal migration down to a minimum, in win-win migration propositions. 

This, despite the fact that Mexico's president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, is an avowed leftist, same as Biden is. Trump actually had a cordial relationship with AMLO as he is known. 

Biden on the other hand, can't even get the Mexican president to come to a summit in Los Angeles. 

Biden's credibility on the matter is already pretty tattered: He held out the dinner triangle to illegal immigration, and migrants of all stripes were allowed in without vetting. After that, word got around that if you come, you will not be sent back, and the caravans from 124 countries came. And came. The Biden administration is currently in court fighting a judge's order that they drop Title 42, a measure that permits the government to send back so-called asylum seekers on public health grounds due to the pandemic. Biden wants to end that order and let the migrants in. 

Now any illegal border crosser who yells 'asylum' will be permitted to stay and work in the U.S. as his asylum case wends its way through courts, or else will be rubber-stamped by an open-borders activist who's been put on the government payroll as an  "asylum officer." Should the illegal show up for his court date some three years down the line and is then gets ordered deported anyway, he ... won't be deported because he's not "a priority."

This isn't exactly a credibility builder for Biden's new claim to want to "tackle" illegal immigration.

The idea that he now wants to "tackle" illegal immigration is bound to be a laughing matter at the summit.

What's more, with Mexico out, and for that matter Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, all three of whom are prime shippers of tens of thousands of illegal migrants, few of the migrant-shipping countries, let alone the big Mexican transit point, are going to be involved in this. He may be planning to shovel money "for development" as he always does, but without Mexico, and the Latin socialist hellholes, the plan will be little more than Biden talking to the hand.

It might have been a great opportunity for Joe Biden to hold up the shipping and profiting nations of illegals up to public scorn, had he invited all of them for the summit. But since Joe is trying to turn America into another Venezuela, well, that's a nonstarter.

What a waste of time. 


Two Deported Sex Criminals Nabbed in Less Than 24 Hours on Southern Border

Border Patrol agents arrested two illegal aliens in less than 24 hours who have been convicted of sex crimes in the United States, Customs and Border Protection announced on Friday.

The two men, who had been deported, attempted to cross into the country as part of larger groups of migrants in the Del Rio, Texas, sector of the southern border on the mornings of May 24 and May 25.

The first man, a Mexican national, was convicted of sexual assault in 1998 and sentenced to 17 months in prison. The second, who hails from El Salvador, was sentenced to a year in prison in 2012 after a statutory rape conviction.

CBP has arrested in the 2022 fiscal year nearly 6,000 migrants who have been convicted of one or more crimes in the United States or abroad, according to agency data. Of those arrests, 177 have been convicted sex offenders.

The number of illegal aliens attempting to enter the United States, including those with criminal backgrounds, has skyrocketed since President Joe Biden took office. In the 2021 fiscal year, 488 illegal aliens with sex crime convictions were arrested at the southern border compared with just 156 in the 2020 fiscal year and 58 in the 2019 fiscal year.

Border Patrol has arrested 5,985 migrants with criminal convictions in the 2022 fiscal year. Should that rate of arrests continue, Border Patrol will arrest more criminal migrants this fiscal year than in the previous five.

The Washington Free Beacon has reported on plummeting deportations of illegal immigrants under the Biden administration. In 2021, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 55,590 illegals, the fewest number in five years.

Former ICE Chief: Biden’s Newest Border Rule to ‘Help Illegal Aliens Get Into’ U.S.

President Joe Biden’s latest rule at the United States-Mexico border will “help illegal aliens get into” American communities more quickly and easily, former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Jonathan Fahey warns.

The rule, first reported by the Washington Post, allows asylum officers to determine a border crosser’s claim for asylum at the southern border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) started using the rule on Tuesday at two Texas detention centers where hundreds of asylum cases will be reviewed every month.

Most notably, even if an asylum officer rejects an asylum claim made by a border crosser, the rule allows the claim to be reviewed by a federal immigration judge, and if the claim is rejected again, the border crosser is allowed to appeal the decisions.

Fahey, who served as ICE director in former President Donald Trump’s last month in office, told Fox News the rule will make it even easier for border crossers and illegal aliens to enter the U.S. interior.

“I think it’s going to help and it’s going to help illegal aliens get into the country and stay in the country,” Fahey said. “It will encourage more, so in terms of helping, it will help in that respect.”

“Pretty much everything this administration has done … is either designed to increase illegal immigration or to pretend like they’re doing something about the problem when in fact they’re not. This will actually do both,” Fahey said of the rule.

Specifically, Fahey said the rule will make it easier for border crossers to secure asylum without going before a federal immigration judge, and even when border crossers are denied asylum, they will be allowed to remain in the U.S. while their case is heard.

“They’re going to make it easier for people to be granted asylum and once they’re granted asylum, they’re here, permanently with legal status,” Fahey said. “But granted, people that are not granted asylum will also, in effect, be granted asylum because they won’t be removed under any circumstances whatsoever and that’s one of the tricks with this administration.”

“The purpose of this is to … encourage more people to come … and the administration now will control what that number is because they can train people to let in as many people as they want, they can loosen the standards as much as they want … they want as many illegal aliens to come into the country as possible … their plan is being executed as well as anything they’re doing in this administration which is open borders and amnesty,” Fahey continued.

Already, Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network is releasing hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities every few months. In April alone, nearly 118,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior — a foreign population larger than Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

From February 2021 to April 2022, Biden has released about 954,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities — not including Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) and illegal aliens who successfully crossed the border undetected. This is a foreign population twice the size of Miami, Florida, and larger than five states.

“This administration knows, by and large, all of these massive migration patterns that have happened over the past year and a half are not people fleeing persecution, they’re people fleeing to the United States because they know they have Joe Biden as the president and he’s going to welcome them with open arms and give them every right, privilege, and benefit that American citizens receive,” Fahey said.

Open Borders Lobby Begs Biden to Quickly End Title 42, Unlocking Waves of Illegal Immigration

The open borders lobby is begging President Joe Biden to more quickly end Title 42, a move that would almost certainly unlock waves of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border.

Months ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that on May 23, the Biden administration would end Title 42 — the public health authority invoked by former President Trump to stem illegal immigration at the border.

In April, Trump-appointed Judge Robert R. Summerhays announced he would block the administration from ending Title 42, and this month, he issued a preliminary injunction — blocking Title 42 from being eliminated.

Since then, Biden has vowed to appeal Summerhays’s decision. The open borders lobby, though, wants Biden to take a number of steps to quickly get rid of Title 42.

The Hill reports:

The Biden administration has pledged to appeal the ruling, and while advocates want them to take the additional step of seeking a stay to freeze the order, some also say they should just go ahead and get the rulemaking over with. [Emphasis added]

“I think Title 42 needs to end immediately. The quickest way to do that is to obtain a stay,” said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s immigrants’ rights project. [Emphasis added]

“If the administration cannot obtain a stay then doing notice and comment quickly would be more immediate than allowing an appeal to go forward over months and possibly a year or more,” added Gelernt. [Emphasis added]

Conversely, Sens. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) have urged Biden to move the use of Title 42 from one focused on the Chinese coronavirus to the nation’s fentanyl crisis, where more than 100,000 Americans die every year from drug overdoses, including fentanyl-related deaths.

The majority of Americans have consistently told pollsters that they do not support ending Title 42 at the border. The latest CNN poll found that nearly 6-in-10 Americans do not want Biden to end Title 42.

As Breitbart News has reported for months, the Biden administration has been prematurely winding down the use of Title 42 at the border. Most recently, sources close to Breitbart News confirmed that the agency has prematurely ended Title 42.

Across the entire U.S.-Mexico border, some 100,000 foreign nationals are waiting for Title 42 to end so they can rush the border. Sources close to Breitbart News have said that 6,000 foreign nationals are awaiting the policy’s end in Tijuana, alone.

Without Title 42, Biden officials admit that up to half a million border crossers and illegal aliens — the equivalent of the resident population of Atlanta, Georgia — could arrive at the border every month.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) told Breitbart News that he would expect 30,000 border crossers and illegal aliens every day at the border without Title 42.

Border Patrol Union: ‘There Is More to Being President that Hiding Behind Ray Bans’ and Constantly Trashing Americans

Commenting on President Joe Biden’s shamefully low approval rating, the nation’s Border Patrol Union (National Border Patrol Council) is reminding Pres. Biden that his job requires much more than he’s currently giving.

“Apparently, there is more to being president than hiding behind Ray Bans and constantly lecturing Americans about how bad we are,” the union tweeted Tuesday, referring to the nation’s border crisis and citing results of a national Civiqs poll of registered voters:

“Joe Biden at 35% approval in new poll, 55% disapprove. Apparently there is more to being president than hiding behind Ray Bans and constantly lecturing Americans about how bad we are. It's not working. A disaster of a presidency. #BidenBorderCrisis

On Thursday, the Border Patrol Union called out Biden’s disingenuous, ineffective and half-hearted comment telling aliens to “don’t come” into the U.S. illegally:

“Biden Admin's tepid "don't come’ warnings are CYA 101...a joke that should be followed by [3 winking-face emojis]...like telling a lion how delicious t-bones are for a year and then throwing one in front of him and saying ‘don't eat that’. Biden set the stage for this chaos. He owns it.”

According to the Civiqs trendline, Pres. Biden’s net approval turned negative last May and has become increasing more negative ever since. On Sunday, Biden’s net approval was -20% (35%-55%), with 10% neither approving nor disapproving.

DOJ: 56% of Federal Arrests in 2020 Took Place in 5 Judicial Districts Along U.S.-Mexico Border

(CNSNews.com) - Fifty-six percent of all federal criminal arrests in fiscal 2020 took place in the five federal judicial districts that sit along the U.S.-Mexico border, says a new report from the U.S. Department of Justice.

There are 94 federal judicial districts in the United States, five of which cover the U.S.-Mexico border. These include California Southern, which encompasses the California border with Mexico, Arizona, which encompasses the Arizona border with Mexico; New Mexico, which encompasses the New Mexico border with Mexico; and Texas Western and Texas Southern, which cover the Texas border with Mexico.

“More than half (56%) of arrests in FY 2020 were in the five federal judicial districts along the U.S.-Mexico border,” says “Federal Justice Statistics, 2020,” published this month by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a division of the Department of Justice.

In fiscal 2020, which ran from October 2019 through September 2020, U.S. marshals processed a total of 120,112 arrests. Of these, 67,361—or 56.08 percent—were in the five judicial districts along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Among those five border districts, the greatest number of arrests took place in the Texas Southern district, where marshals processed 25,270 arrests. That equaled 21.0 percent of the national total of 120,112.

The second greatest number of arrests was in Arizona, where marshals processed 15,852 arrests, which equaled 13.2 percent of the national total of 120,112.

The third greatest number of arrests was in the Texas Western district, where marshals processed 11,901 arrests, which equaled 9.9 percent of the national total of 120,112.

The fourth greatest number of arrests was in California Southern (9,123 or 7.6 percent); and the fifth greatest number was in New Mexico (5,215 or 4.3 percent).

“Defendants adjudicated in U.S.-Mexico border districts had a higher conviction rate (97%) than defendants nonborder districts,” said the report.

Defendants convicted of federal offenses in the districts along the U.S.-Mexico border tended to serve shorter sentences than defendants convicted elsewhere in the country because more of them were convicted of immigration offenses, the report explained.

“Defendants convicted of violent offenses received a median sentence of 85 months in prison, while drug defendants received a median of 70 months and other public order defendants received a median of 60 months,” said the report. “The median prison term for immigration defendants convicted of a felony was 10 months. Defendants convicted and sentenced to prison in the five U.S.-Mexico border districts received a median sentence of 13 months, compared to a median of 57 months in other districts. This was due to the higher percentage of immigration cases in the border districts.”

Males charged with federal crimes were more likely to be foreign nationals (43 percent) than females charged with federal crimes (18 percent).

“Eighty-two percent of charged females were U.S. citizens,” said the report.

“Males who were charged were also more likely to be U.S. citizens (57%) than non-U.S. citizens (43%),” it said. “Other than the United States, the most common countries or regions of citizenship among male defendants were Mexico (31%), Central America (8%), and the Caribbean Islands (2%).”

Ninety-seven percent of the defendants adjudicated in the five districts along the border were convicted.

“Of the 71,126 defendants adjudicated in FY 2020, about 93% were convicted,” said the Bureau of Justice Statistics report.

“Nearly all defendants charge with immigration (98%), weapons (93%), or drug (93%) offenses were convicted,” it said.

“About 91% of adjudicated defendants pled guilty,” it said. “Two percent of defendants were adjudicated through a bench or jury trial. Defendants adjudicated in U.S.-Mexico border districts had a higher conviction rate (97%) than defendants in nonborder districts (90%).”

The Bureau of Justice Statistics report noted that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decrease in arrests, charges and convictions in 2020.

“The coronavirus pandemic drove an 81% decline in arrests and 77% decline in cases charged from March to April 2020,” said the report.

“The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant effect on all stages of the federal criminal justice process, from arrest to imprisonment,” it said. “U.S. courts modified operations in 2020. Fewer persons were arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to prison. The largest decline in arrests and cases occurred from March 2020 to April 2020.”

“The number of defendants charged in U.S. district courts dropped from 5,300 in March 2020 to 1,232 in April 2020, a 77% decline,” it said. “The number of defendants convicted in U.S. district courts declined 43% from March 2020 (5,295) to April 2020 (2,995). During that time, the number of defendants sentenced to prison decreased 70%, from 3,220 to 964.

“Comparing February 2020 (before the decline) to September 2020,” it said, “there were 40% fewer investigations in September 2020, about 53% fewer arrests, 10% fewer defendants charged, 33% fewer defendants convicted, and 33% fewer defendants sentenced to prison.”

Illegal Alien Charged with Raping His Young Daughter, Giving Her Chlamydia

An illegal alien has been accused of raping his daughter, a toddler, and giving her a sexually transmitted infection in Davidson County, Tennessee.

Ronaldo Saul Monteroso Gonzalez, a 25-year-old illegal alien, was arrested and charged with aggravated rape of a child last week and booked into the Metro Nashville Jail, where he is being held on a $250,000 bond.

According to a police report obtained by local outlet Scoop Nashville, Gonzalez’s daughter, who is three-years-old or younger, was taken to a nearby children’s hospital after having stated that her father was sexually abusing her.

A sexual assault exam was taken in late February and the child tested positive for the sexually transmitted infection known as Chlamydia. Police only arrested Gonzalez last week because they said they could not locate him.

Gonzalez’s wife confirmed to police that Gonzalez had been in contact with his children during that period after the sexual assault exam and his arrest.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has placed a detainer on Gonzalez, requesting that local authorities turn him over to them if he is released at any time.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to a border crossing in Laredo, Texas, seized more than 900 pounds of methamphetamine. The officers found the $18 million worth of drugs in a tractor-trailer attempting to enter the U.S. from Mexico.

CBP officers assigned to the World Trade Bridge in Laredo on May 6 observed a 2013 International trailer carrying a load of stainless steel scrap metal approach for entry inspection into the United States, according to information obtained from CBP officials in Laredo. An officer identified the driver as a 33-year-old male from Mexico. The officers referred the driver to a secondary inspection area.

During the secondary inspection, a CBP K-9 alerted to the possible presence of drugs in the load of scrap steel. A non-intrusive inspection scan of the load revealed containers hidden in the load.

A physical inspection of the trailer led to discovering 25 buckets containing 913 pounds of methamphetamine, officials stated. The street value of the load of drugs is estimated to be approximately $18,253,206.

“Officers assigned to CBP cargo facilities ensure effective border security by preventing and countering the flow of suspected narcotics entering the country,” Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry, said in a written statement. “Large-scale seizures, such as this one, provide an excellent example of border security management and how it helps prevent illicit contraband from reaching our communities.”

The Silent Invasion and War at Home

It has been chilling to watch the steady number of deaths, the territory invaded, the executions and rapes, the fear and the flight.  It is especially shocking because we had peace for so long, but now we see all the possibilities of evil coming out.

I'm not talking about Ukraine — I'm speaking of an invasion right here in the United States.  Migrants, mostly Hispanic, are entering the U.S. at the rate of at least 2 million per year — or 20 million in the next decade — and with them come hundreds of thousands of violent gang members.  Meanwhile, our own inner-city gangs are spreading out into affluent suburban areas, invading high-end shopping areas and stealing from stores and individuals, often at gunpoint and with deadly consequences.

I am not being alarmist or racist.  I am simply describing what is happening and pointing out the future state of affairs if we do nothing.  If anything, my numbers are low, and my words cannot describe the horror of what is happening.

The most numerous victims of this invasion are blacks and Hispanics who are attacked by young men of their own race.  These are the forgotten men and women in our society, and this is a topic that mainstream news won't cover because the killers are mostly black and Hispanic.  Just in 2020, the year of the "defund the police" protests, murders of blacks soared by 32%, and they're only continuing.

We're seeing an explosion in the number of carjackings and car thefts, along with murders, home invasions, rapes, assaults, and other violent crimes, not just in our cities, but in suburban areas as well.  And authorities cannot or will not do anything to stop it.  There has always been violent crime in Chicago, but now there seems to be a crime wave, and it includes the murder of children, police officers, and the elderly.  The authorities mumble about "root causes," but social work won't reduce the numbers.  We are at war, and war requires the use of force.

The perpetrators are largely the same in every location: young black and Hispanic men, heavily armed and with no apparent conscience or morality.  They prey on the weak and take what they want, which seems to be money, sex, drugs, and a certain kind of street cred that they mistake for status.

These thugs now control the streets, even in many smaller cities.  Mayors like Lori Lightfoot seem to have given up.  They attempt to change the subject and ignore the problem, just as the Biden administration does.

Biden ignores the fact that we have been invaded by a powerful army of young men of similar backgrounds and natures — ruthless gang members and repeat offenders with the same teardrop tattoos signifying their having committed murder, the same cold, haughty stare, the same hostile swagger and domineering speech.  These criminals have become so familiar that even some middle-class whites, through popular culture and rap music, have mistaken them for Robin Hood–type heroes.

They are anything but heroes.  They inflict suffering and death on everyone around them.  Like half-starved lions released into the Coliseum, they exist only to murder and prey on the weak.

More Americans have died in this war over the past decade (some 200,000) than Ukrainians who have died in their war (13,000 according to a recent count), and American cities are beginning to resemble the bombed out shells of civilization we see in Mariupol and Kharkiv.  The difference is that everyone notices the destruction in Ukraine, but few understand the magnitude of violent crime in the U.S.  If the media coverage were honest and proportional, Americans would demand change.

We have been invaded by an army that is worse than that of Russia.  Unlike the hapless conscripts who constitute those Russian forces, the thugs who roam America are remorseless.  If anything, they enjoy killing since it inflates their sense of power, especially their power over whites, and particularly white police officers, though black victims are hardly exempt.  They are lean, muscled, and street-tough, and they are not afraid of getting caught since in most places there is no real punishment for "common" crimes like stealing cars or home break-ins, and little punishment for violent crime as well.

The invaders we face are violent and lack all compunction, but they are not all that numerous.  They fit a similar profile — a certain type of young minority drop-out, stealing or selling drugs — but according to several estimates, they constitute at most one quarter of their demographic and a smaller percentage of Hispanics.  Indeed, most blacks and Hispanics live in fear of these invaders, just as most whites do.

The Ukrainian army has repelled Russian forces in many areas.  If the Ukrainians had been properly armed, they might have turned back the Russians at the beginning and saved their country so much suffering and destruction.  In America, we don't even realize we have been invaded, or else we refuse to admit it.  It's not "woke" to say that young black men commit murder at 18 times the rate of the general population.  Not woke to say, as is true, that twice as many whites are murdered by blacks as are blacks by whites.  Not woke to point out that fully one quarter of black men "end up in the criminal justice system," as Bernie Sanders has it.

One does not defeat an enemy by allowing it to murder, steal, and rape without resistance.  The only way is to recognize that we have been invaded, and we are at war.  War requires its own way of thinking and its own tactics and strategy.  At present, we arrest criminals (a few of them, since 54% of reported violent crimes and more than 75% overall go unsolved), charge them with a lesser offense, release them (in many places without bail), and watch them go right back to committing crimes.  That is the wrong strategy for a state of war.

It is possible to defeat our enemy, but it will take a change of attitude.  We must be willing to fund our police at maximum levels, support our police in their dangerous work, and indemnify them against unreasonable prosecution in their use of force, and we must elect prosecutors who actually prosecute this army of invaders.  The recall of L.A. district attorney George Gascón might be a good start.

We are under attack, and the situation is getting worse.  The only way to defeat an invading army is with greater force.  We need to provide that force so that we can live safely once again.

Five Large Migrant Groups Cross into One Texas Border Sector

Large Migrant Groups apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol/Del Rio.Sector

Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents encountered five large groups of migrants who illegally crossed the border during a 31-hour period over the weekend. Three of the groups crossed within 10 hours of each other.

“Hundreds at a time. That is what agents of the Del Rio Sector are seeing almost daily,” Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted. “This adds to the already record number of apprehensions.”

Border Patrol officials define a “large group” as more than 100 migrants crossing the border in a single incident. So far this fiscal year, which began October 1, 2021, the sector’s agents encountered 108 large groups. This accounts “for approximately half the large groups encountered by Border Patrol nationwide.”

Beginning on the morning of May 14, agents encountered a group fo 129 migrants who crossed into Texas from Mexico.
