On Tuesday, an internal agency-wide email was sent to Border Patrol stations, soliciting volunteers from rank-and-file Border Patrol agents and managers to assist DHS with deportation operations away from the immediate border area.
A source within CBP, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas the request did not specify times or locations of the assignment.
The source says the move comes at a time when the use of Border Patrol agents for this assignment could prove instrumental in the success of internal removal operations. “We have deployed significant Department of Defense resources to the border region; we have excellent cooperation from state and local law enforcement partners at the border and can now afford to help out with interior removals without sacrificing border security achievements,” the source emphasized.
