Response to Haitian migrant surge leaves other parts of border unsecured: 'We're unguarded'
Fox News
As officials scramble to cope with the flood of Haitian migrants to the Del Rio bridge, multiple sources say that the response -- including a surge in agents to the bridge from elsewhere in the sector -- has left other parts of the border wide open.
That move included closing the port of entry, as well as other border checkpoints in Del Rio – checkpoints that allow CBP to apprehend illicit cargo and illegal migrants -- in order to try and regain control at the bridge.
Brandon Judd, head of the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union representing Border Patrol agents, told Fox News last week CBP was told months ago that the Del Rio bridge was a weak point.
