Border Patrol agents in Tucson, Arizona, arrested 160 migrants crossing in one large group. They were determined to be from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Nearly 130 unaccompanied migrant children (UACs) were part of the group.
On Sunday, the large group surrendered to the Border Patrol and was taken to the Tucson Station to be processed and turned over to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The group of mostly UACs is part of an alarming trend. Since September 17, four such instances have occurred in the area.
Of the 449 migrants arrested in the four latest groups, nearly 300 were unaccompanied children. The Border Patrol will transfer the UACs to HHS once processed. The children will be taken to one of several Emergency Intake Sites (EIS). Staff will work to find relatives or sponsors within the United States.
