Las Cruces, New Mexico officials reported on Monday that Border Patrol agents released almost 1,600 migrants into the town of just over 100,000 residents over a 10-day period, forcing the city to spend $75,000 on humanitarian assistance.
On April 12, CBP began releasing the migrants apprehended in the El Paso Sector, according to KVIA ABC7, which come as the agency reaches a breaking point trying to handle thousands of Central American migrant families crossing the border illegally in West Texas and the New Mexico boot heel, reports Breitbart's Bob Price.
Homeland Security officials based in New Mexico told KVIA that they expect more "Asylum seekers" to be dropped off in Law Cruces "For several more weeks."
Neighboring Otero County declared a state of emergency, and has called on the New Mexico governor to re-deploy the National Guard to re-open interior checkpoints, according to the El Paso Times.
"Otero County will also consider litigation in regards to the State of New Mexico failing to follow its constitutional duties towards the people of Otero County."
In February, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered the removal of most of her state's National Guard troops from border security assistance missions, Breitbart News reported.
This action, combined with the ever-increasing surge of Central American migrants in the region, forced Border Patrol executives to shut down the checkpoints in order to move resources to the border for processing, caring for, and transporting the migrants.
