It’s one of the first large groups to arrive since the Trump administration’s agreement with Mexico.81 illegal immigrants were arrested and processed by Border Patrol outside of Sasabe, Arizona on Tuesday.
The group is possibly one of the biggest to enter the United States in several months. Crossings of large “caravan†groups of illegal immigrants have declined in recent months, in great part due to ‘safe third-country’ deals orchestrated by the Trump administration between the United States and Mexico. The United States also recently enacted a deal with El Salvador that would keep asylum seekers in their home countries.
Customs and Border Patrol released drone surveillance footage of the group crossing into the country. According to the agency, more than 33 man-hours were spent detaining and transporting the group, precious time that could’ve been used to patrol for smaller groups of illegal immigrants.
