FIRST ON FOX: A decision to authorize all Border Patrol Sectors to begin “safe” mass releases of migrants to city streets if NGOs are overcapacity will take place in line with a 2022 memo that was uncovered during legal proceedings initiated by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody last year and outlined how to handle releases when Title 42 ends.
Fox News reported on Tuesday that top border officials in Washington D.C. have decided to authorize all Border Patrol Sectors to begin the releases if CBP and NGOs can’t hold migrants. It means that they will be released at bus stops, gas stations, supermarkets and elsewhere.
The decision was made amid a surge of migrants across the border that has hit over 10,000 a day across multiple days this week. NGOs are already approaching their limits on capacity, and those numbers are expected to only get worse in the coming days when Title 42 — which allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic — expires.
