Yes, a war is happening in the Middle East.
Do not forget we have an invasion at our southern and northern border.
The Tucson Sector Border Patrol has already reduced its social media posts because the sector needs all hands on deck, as thousands of illegal crossings happen every day.
The Border Patrol is asking agents nationwide to help at the southern border.
The massive surge at the southern border has led to the suspension of vehicle processing, the closing of checkpoints, and the pulling of personnel from entry points.
The border patrol sent out a memo obtained by The Daily Caller:
In general, USBP did a good job managing in-custody numbers through the Thanksgiving week, however, the in-custody numbers have now increased due to an average number of low bookouts versus the number of encounters.We are asking all Southwest Border sectors to spend the remainder of this holiday weekend surging agents from the field to fill all processing computers to maximize the number of bookouts and reduce the in-custody numbers. Additionally, we need the assistance of the Northern/Coastal Sectors to ramp up their virtually processing sector over the weekend.
A “bookout” is when a migrant is booked out of a detention facility.
The news is awful for the northern border, too. The sectors have smaller numbers, but they have seen a surge in illegal crossings. A sector apprehended Romanians linked to organized crime.
The Tucson Sector had over 2,800 illegal crossings on Monday. The number is not shocking because the sector averages 2,000 to 2,500 illegal crossings every day.
The surge is why sector Chief John Modlin announced a pause in the sector’s social media posts. He promised they would still post its Week in review.
Why the influx in the Tucson sector? Ali Bradley explains:
The Tucson Sector is unique in that a judge granted an injunction back in 2020 that stipulates migrants are to spend as little time in custody as possible following allegations of inhumane conditions while in federal custody—Sources confirm the sector consistently has lower custody holding times—If the sector is found to be in violation of the injunction, a judge could reopen the case and extend the move to the entire border.Sources say the cartel knows this and is capitalizing on the sheer force needed to respond to the thousands crossing daily—And it is extremely remote, buses cannot get out there because of the terrain, so it takes agents hours to transport small groups.
The border patrol closed the checkpoint outside of Lukeville, AZ.
