Taxpayers Paying to Fly Criminal Migrants into the Interior
Biden ‘turning ICE ERO into an unofficial travel coordination agency’
By Andrew R. Arthur on January 28, 2022
On January 27, Bill Melugin from Fox News reported that illegal migrants — including some with criminal records — are being released at the Southwest border in Texas. That’s bad. What’s worse, however, is that taxpayers are paying the fees for some of those migrants to travel into the interior, with one ICE agent complaining: “The Biden administration has turned ICE ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations] into an unofficial travel coordination agency”.
DHS “Discreetly” Releasing Illegal Migrants. This report follows video from Brownsville, Texas, of single adults — mostly males — being released and transported to flights at Valley International Airport in Harlingen, Texas, to hop planes to Atlanta, Houston, and Miami.
An unidentified ICE agent told Melugin that “this has been discreetly going on since last spring”, and that his agency “has been releasing migrants with misdemeanor criminal records including assault, DUI, drug possession, and illegal reentry”. When Melugin asked ICE about this scheme, the agency did not deny it.
