Migrants continue to cross the border in record numbers. From Oct. 1, 2020, to Sept. 30, 2021, border agents encountered over 1.7 million at the southern border.
The Biden administration was ordered to reinstate former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy that requires asylum seekers to apply and await a court date in Mexico, however, Biden added several caveats to the policy.
In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed the state’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) to step to and support border agents who are overwhelmed by the surge of migrants crossing into Texas.
Texas DPS, Lt. Craig Cummings said that state troopers are stepping in to protect Texans and ensure the threats at the border doesn’t move further north.
“This is exactly what we’re doing down here all the time,” Cummings said. “Not only do we have troopers out here that are patrolling and making these traffic stops that we just saw, but we’ve got boats that are out here on the Rio Grande Valley, we’ve got Texas Rangers that are down here on the border, we’ve got air assets in the air. We’re working with our partners: at the federal, at the state, and at the local level to secure Texas and address this threat that’s facing our communities.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that they don’t typically include “gotaways” in their statistics.
