"Border Crisis: Mass Migrant Releases Overwhelm San Diego and El Paso, Prompting Federal Indifference"

Border Patrol agents in San Diego have begun releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants onto city streets due to the overwhelming surge of migrants at the border. Similar releases have already been taking place in Arizona. The border as a whole has seen multiple days of over 7,000 illegal crossings, with August on track to exceed 230,000 migrant encounters. Border Patrol leadership is setting "bookout" targets to process migrants more quickly. The crisis is not only affecting border communities but also cities like New York and Chicago, which are struggling to cope with the influx of migrants. Republicans are pushing for a border security bill in Congress, while Democrats' reform bill has been rejected by Republicans due to the inclusion of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Border crisis escalates as Title 42 expires and enforcement operations increase.

The Biden administration has authorized all Border Patrol sectors to begin "safe" mass releases of migrants to city streets if non-governmental organizations (NGOs) don't have the capacity to hold them. Customs and Border Protection facilities are already over capacity in multiple sectors, and tens of thousands more migrants are expected to surge into the United States once the Title 42 public health order is lifted on May 11. The predominantly single adult migrants are expected to be encouraged by the belief they have a greater chance of being admitted into the U.S. once the order ends.
