At Least 1.1K Border Crossers, Illegal Aliens Released Into U.S. Over Weekend

At least 1,100 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the interior of the United States this weekend, local reports confirm, as the country’s catch and release program surges.

Reports out of San Antonio and Laredo, Texas, revealed that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials under the direction of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen have released at least 1,100 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country this weekend in these Texas regions, alone. . .

In Laredo, sources told local media that more than 100 border crossers and illegal aliens were dropped off at bus stations in the area over the weekend. The sources claim that about 90 percent of the foreign nationals released are Hondurans.

For months, DHS officials have said privately that the catch and release program has been taken to new heights, while Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union officials declared this week that the program was in “overdrive” under Nielsen’s direction of the agency. . .

In an expansive report, Breitbart News recently confirmed that between December 21, 2018, and March 5, 2019, DHS released a total of 84,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. This release process often entails federal immigration officials busing border crossers into nearby border cities and dropping them off with the promise that they will show up for their immigration and asylum hearings, sometimes years later.
