Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly planning to process and release illegal immigrant families into the U.S. that have entered the country illegally in Del Rio, Texas – the source of the latest massive border surge.
Migrants who snuck into the country have been sheltering under a bridge in Del Rio. According to Bill Melugin, a national correspondent for Fox News, “U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz says there are currently 12,600 migrants under the bridge in Del Rio.”
“He “[t]old me single adult men will be expelled via Title 42, but most family units will be processed and released into US w/ NTA (notice to appear),”” he added.
“For the migrants who are being expelled, repatriation flights have already started. The Mayor of Del Rio says he knows of several flights that have flown out of San Antonio already.”
The tens of thousands of illegals have been hiding under the bridge in make-shift shelters as they await processing by the Biden administration.
The news comes as tens of thousands of illegal aliens have stayed under the bridge in Del Rio to escape triple-digit heat while they wait to be processed by the Biden administration.
“Bruno Lozano, the city’s mayor, described on Thursday squalid conditions under the bridge that more so resembled a shantytown, with little access to clean water and food and just a few portable toilets,” The New York Times reported. “While waiting, the migrants have access to 22 portable toilets but no running water.”
The Biden administration official told the AP late last week that they were going to take action to remove the horde of illegal aliens that entered the area.
“Details are yet to be finalized but will likely involve five to eight flights a day, according to the official with direct knowledge of the plans who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity,” The AP reported. “San Antonio, the nearest major city, may be among the departure cities.”
Whatever Biden’s plans are for the migrants, he certainly doesn’t want the public to see them. The FAA put into effect a two-week long no-fly zone over the bridge for drones, often used by media for aerial coverage.
The new crisis in Del Rio comes amid back-to-back months of Border Patrol recording well over 200,000 apprehensions of illegal aliens on the U.S. Southern Border.
CNN reported earlier this year that the U.S. was on track to make contact with a record 2 million illegal aliens on the southern border, a number greater than the populations of Alaska, Wyoming, and Vermont — combined.
Law enforcement officials with the state of Texas were eventually forced to storm the border to gain control of the situation after the Biden administration repeatedly failed to secure the border.
“The Texas Department of Public Safety is in full force along the border around the Del Rio area,” Governor Greg Abbott said in a tweet that featured a picture showing scores of law enforcement vehicles that had descended on the area. “They have built a barricade with their squad cars and State Troopers. The National Guard is working with them to secure the border.”
If not for Abbott’s decision to step up and secure his state’s border, the number of migrants under that bridge would have likely been much, much larger.
