Sheriff: ICE Forced to Quick-Release Migrant Families in Arizona

ICE told Arizona Sheriffs it has run out of detention space to handle the number of migrants illegally crossing the border and presenting themselves at ports of entry. This lack of housing and the Flores Settlement’s 20-day release requirement forced ICE to release a large number of “family units" in Arizona all at once.

Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot told Fox News, “ICE hasn’t been able to keep up with individuals coming up the border from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, because they’re overwhelmed. They’re releasing them out of the front door of their facilities…Each of our communities are going to be faced with this crisis and one thing sheriffs have said is that what goes on on the border won't stay at the border, it's throughout the U.S.”

As of October 15th, ICE began releasing family units without approved “post-release plans.”

ICE released about 800 family members in Arizona last week and 200 in Yuma alone. With a population just over 200,000, Yuma has far fewer services to assist the families. Those released to Phoenix and Tucson typically find more help but the large numbers strained their ability to cope.

This invasion by illegal aliens into our USA is as dangerous to our country as the invaders ancient Rome faced in the 5th century AD or the Mongol invasion of Eastern Europe in the 13th century.

The illegals will do the same harm, take our treasure, food, destroy our way of life and force our women and children to serve them as serfs. President Trump is correct in calling out our Army to confront the entering illegals.

Just more Heathen Liberal Laws.

I saw awhile back that Nancy P has a place that is too large just for her. Lots of open space. Since she is so passionate (along with some of the other Dems) can we bus some of the illegals to their place(s) so they could show their devotion. One thing though - no vetting! use a lottery system.

CaravanaMigrante members tell us they are trapped between nations. Can’t go back to Guatemala while passage into Mexico has stalled. Some are improvising with ropes and ladders

We confirmed the Guatemala side is open if #CaravanaMigrantes wants to go back. But some are choosing to jump

As many invaders as are in the caravan, cross every 3 or 4 days. The caravan is just an organized political move, we need the military to protect the borders months ago.

The is a 40 year old plot in California called La Conquista. Kevein De leon is the current leader. Plan: millions of illegals here will turn the southwest back to mexico

The most ignorant, freeloadingest, bottom feeders on the planet are now telling Americans how the cow ate the cabbage when it comes to “immigration”. We’ve become a nation of cowards. Disgusting.

[antidemoncrat]

I think, unlike what Hissy Chrissy Wallace said on Faux News, the Democrats with the help of George Soros planned this to happen just before the mid terms so if Pres. Trump stops this invasion they along with the lame street media will crucify the Republicans. I also think Mueller will drop some phony crap about the so called Russian collusion in the next week or so to attempt to do the same.

It is the Job of Congress to close the border, provide whatever help our borders need....call your congressman and demand they pull the plug on allowing immigrants without papers etc. to come in period. This invasion has to stop.....

[Yaelle]

Please someone define “border” for me. I am simply too dumb to comprehend why we need to allow anyone in because they wish to come.

[sasafras]

Read your constitution it is the responsibility of the executive branch to act to protect us from an invasion.

[Yaelle]

We should really have a way to process asylum seekers without caging them or letting them in. The USA sure didn’t let my family in as asylum though they were being killed off one by one down to the children. My family had to get sponsored and have jobs before they were allowed to enter. What has happened?

[Rusty0604]

If you’re dumb, then I’m dumber.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The xenofreeloaders said they came here seeking asylum. Why the hell are we giving them food, education, housing, free money and health care? They didn’t ask for it. They asked for “asylum”.

[NTHockey]

It never occurred to the sheriff to help ICE. Damn the rules and regs; do what is right

[sasafras]

This plays into trump s hand he is protecting us from an invasion it be does not stop these people it will hurt the republican s more. He needs to act it is a national emergency.

[Mears]

What annoys me the most is that economic need/jobs are NOT conditions for being given refugee status.

They could just be sent back.

If they can jump fences in the US and Mexico, they can certainly jump fences into Honduras.
