A decline in border crossings in the Rio Grande Valley Sector allowed officials to shut down one of its temporary holding facilities. Officials opened the facility in December in response to the surge of migrant apprehensions in south Texas.
The facility being closed is located near the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge, Breitbart Texas reported in December. “This effort is designed to minimize the impact to border security operations while fulfilling our humanitarian efforts,” Joint Task Force-West South Texas Corridor Commander Manuel Padilla, Jr. said at that time in a written statement. “We will work closely with all our partner agencies to maintain efficient operations.”
Preliminary numbers of border apprehensions following the swearing in of President Donald Trump revealed a sharp drop in Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. FMUA apprehensions decreased in January by 42 percent while UAC apprehensions declined by 39 percent. While the apprehensions decreased from the previous month, they are still significantly ahead of January 2016 numbers.
Better keep it open to make sure illegals returning to Mexico are not turned away at their side of the border, because Mexico will do that to its citizens when it gets desperate. Freaking cannons and catapults…what hapless, deluded idiots run Mexico’s deep state. Almost as bad as our deep state. And our deep state got this stupid without even running drugs. I’m pretty sure they didn’t run drugs, Not 100% sure, so don’t hold me to it.
Looks like the garden may be starting to weed itself.
