Border Patrol agents in one sector of Texas have seen a staggering 900 percent increase in arrests of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds since this time last year, according to Custo☂ms and Border Protection.
In a release put out by CBP Thursday, the agencꦇy said it had arrested 760 undocumented individuals 💙since October in the Laredo sector of the Lone Star State.
That’s up from 60 arrests in the same time last year.
The group includes gang members and sex ꦓoffenders.
Just one day after that notice was released, authoritꦅies in Bexar County, Texas, are searching for upwards of 80 migrants being trafficked after an air-conditioned truck was found abandoned just outside San Antonio.
The vehicle, , was located after witnesses reported 🌼banging coming from inside the vehicle to police around 4 a.m. Friday.
The Department of Homeland Security has since🌜 taken over the probe, according to the report.
The Biden administration’🃏s undoing of former President Donald Trump’s border policies has prompted a flood of Central American and Mexican illegal migrants at the US border, including thousands of unescorted children.
Central Americans looking for refuge from the Northern Triangle countries — Guatemala,🍨 El Salvador and Honduras — have taken these policy moves, as well as the overwhelmingly more welcoming tone from Democrats, as a sign that Biden is inꦓviting them to cross the border.
Insisting that the border was not facing a crisis, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in early March that the problems the agency faced should be blamed on the previous administration.
The data, however, overwhelmingly shows that migrants were flooding the border because they believed Biden would welcome them with open arms.
As Mayorkas denied the existence of a crisis, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador blamed the new president for it, arguing that the “expectations” he set left migrants with the perception that they would be let into the US.
