(Reuters) – The federal government has suspended its plan to send the San Diego area hundreds of the Central American migrants who have been flooding into Texas illegally from Mexico, U.S. Border Patrol officials said on Thursday.
San Diego’s Border Patrol agents will instead help manage the influx by processing paperwork and conducting intake interviews via computer and telephone, according to Gabe Pacheco, a spokesman for the agents’ union, the National Border Patrol Council.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials declined to give a reason for the change. But it appeared driven by an outcry against the transfers in the town of Murrieta, California, where a Border Patrol office originally had been assigned to take in many of the migrants.
An initial group of about 140 undocumented detainees, mostly Central American women and children, was flown from Texas to San Diego on July 1, then were taken by bus north to Murrieta.
After processing there, immigration officials said, most were likely to be released within days under limited supervision – some to relatives and friends or charity organizations – to await deportation proceedings. Read more or listen to video below.
