Why DHS is Sending Hundreds of Agents to Texas Border
The Trump administration has deployed additional federal agents to the Texas border in response to increased unlawful crossings. U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed the reassignment of agents to enhance security measures in Laredo, a sector with no natural barriers. This move aims to address the influx of illegal crossings and track individuals who evade apprehension.
- ▪At least 200 Border Patrol agents are being reassigned to the Laredo sector for 30-day volunteer deployments.
- ▪The Laredo sector is particularly vulnerable due to its lack of natural barriers, making it a target for smuggling routes.
- ▪DHS reported that unlawful crossings at the southern border have fallen to their lowest level in over 50 years.
