The Tucson Sector is experiencing a massive surge in the number of migrants crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed as they attempt to detain and process these migrants. Often, migrants are left stranded in an outdoor camp by the border wall in near-freezing conditions, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported.
Randy Clark / Breitbart Texas“According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the constant flow of migrants into the Tucson Border Patrol Sector has quickly depleted CBP resources in the area,” Clark wrote. “The sector, according to the source, is detaining more than 4,000 migrants in holding facilities designed to detain 2,669.”
The Tucson Sector continues to lead the nine southwest border sectors with the apprehension of nearly 119,000 migrants during October and November, Breitbart reported.
