released »

A sudden influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico requesting asylum is
overwhelming immigration agents in San Diego, forcing agencies to rent hotel
rooms for some undocumented families and release others to cities around
the U.S.
Documents obtained exclusively by Fox News show Immigration and Customs
Enforcement has been paying for hotel rooms for dozens of recently arrived
families to relieve overcrowding inside the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, Calif.
, processing centers. Some ICE employees are working overtime and others
have been asked to volunteer to work weekend shifts. “Duties include intake
, placements, transports and release of family groups and unaccompanied
minors,” according to a memo obtained by Fox News.
The surge has raised suspicions about what is driving the influx, amid
claims that illegal immigrants have learned they can attempt to get asylum
by using a few key words — namely, by claiming they have a “credible fear
” of drug cartels.
“This clearly has to have been orchestrated by somebody,” said former
U.S. Attorney for Southern California Peter Nunez. “It’s beyond belief
that dozens or hundreds or thousands of people would simultaneously decide
that they should go to the U.S. and make this claim.” |
