Border Patrol set ‘bookout’ targets to bring migrant custody numbers to ‘manageable’ levels amid new surge
Fox News
Border Patrol leadership put into place targets for the number of migrants being released or transferred from custody due to a massive surge of migrants it has faced.
The email, obtained by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office, says daily encounters "[continue] to surpass the daily permanent bookouts and the in-custody numbers continue to rise creating significant risks to agents and detainees." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"This level of detention numbers has also resulted in increased manpower requirements impacting border security efforts." He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
