Border Patrol Expands Interior Enforcement Amidst Low Border Arrests | JQJO

With border arrests at historic lows, Border Patrol agents are increasingly operating far from the US borders, assisting ICE in interior enforcement. This shift, driven by a daily arrest quota, sees agents conducting operations across the country, within and beyond the 100-mile border zone. This expanded role has led to incidents like an agent striking a landscaper in California and the forceful removal of a senator at a Los Angeles news conference. Experts predict this trend will continue as long as border activity remains low.
