Mark Morgan: Mexico is doing exactly what they promised to stop migrant caravans
Acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan has an update on the Trump administration's efforts to reduce border apprehensions.
The acting head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) warned Thursday that “super labs†in Mexico are flooding the U.S. with purer, cheaper forms of methamphetamine -- and that seizures of the deadly drug were up 90 percent last month compared with the same time last year.
Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan sounded the alarm while talking to reporters about the October border numbers, which showed that while apprehensions of migrants at the border continue to drop, the agency still faces a crisis -- particularly when it comes to narcotics.
CBP apprehended or deemed inadmissible over 42,000 migrants at the southern border in October, a 14 percent drop since September and 70 percent from the 144,000 encountered in May. Morgan hailed the results as a success for the administration’s approach to the border crisis, despite what he said was a congressional failure to act.
