Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) requested information from Kevin McAleenan, Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), regarding reports that DHS intends to transport approximately 500 migrants per month from El Paso, Texas to both Broward and Palm Beach Counties for release pending an asylum hearing.
The full text of the letter is below.
Dear Acting Secretary McAleenan:
An unprecedented flow of unlawful immigrants and asylum seekers is overwhelming our Customs and Border Protection workforce along our nation’s southern border. Palm Beach County (FL) Sheriff Ric Bradshaw informs me that the Department of Homeland Security intends to transport approximately 500 migrants per month from El Paso, Texas to both Broward and Palm Beach Counties for release pending an asylum hearing.
Please respond to the following questions prior to authorizing or scheduling any such movements:
It is clear the current situation is untenable and the Department is faced with difficult choices given the lack of resources appropriated to secure our nation’s southern border.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
