Border Patrol agents in eastern Arizona arrested more than 2,000 illegal immigrants on Tuesday, including a large group of African men, that the federal government has begun to release onto the street, the Washington Examiner has confirmed.
An Arizona congressman who represents a district along the state's border with Mexico privately pleaded with the Biden administration in a letter Wednesday to stop the street releases before communities fall into a crisis similar to sanctuary cities, including New York City and Chicago.First-term Rep. Juan Ciscomani alerted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday that Border Patrol had begun dropping off immigrants directly onto the street.
"These areas are not equipped to deal with this influx," Ciscomani wrote in the letter."I have personally heard from local elected officials of both parties regarding their concern over these actions and the implications on their communities." However, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official authorized to speak with the press said Border Patrol is adhering to care protocols that bar the government from detaining an individual for more than three days.
