The Biden administration is launching a “targeted enforcement operation” in El Paso, Texas, today to process and potentially deport and expel illegal immigrants in one of the hotspots for migrant crossings – as numbers have surged along the border ahead of the end of Title 42 later this week, Fox News reports.
Agents and officers from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will conduct the operation in El Paso, where about 2,200 migrants are currently camped or living on the streets a few blocks from major ports of entry that connect El Paso with the Mexican city of Juárez.
That’s amid a broader surge that has seen over 26,000 apprehensions and over 7,000 “gotaways” in just 72 hours, according to official statistics.
