The border continues to burn.

According to a Fox News report, ICE lost track of more than 150,000 illegal migrants due to processing issues at the southern border; essentially, there was no processing.

From Fox News:

The videos, first obtained by Fox News Digital, show border officials discussing logistical issues they are dealing with after hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants were released into the interior of the country without thorough processing. The training videos span from November 2021 to February 2022 and are included as part of discovery in an ongoing lawsuit by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody against the Department of Homeland Security and other border agencies.

Due to lack of resources and a surge at the border after President Biden took office, officials in March 2021 started releasing migrants with instructions to report to the ICE office that’s closest to their intended residence, but without formal charging documents. ICE officials usually use charging documents, which require migrants who enter the U.S. illegally to appear before a federal immigration judge, in order to locate and remove those people.

…

Biden administration enacted “Operation Horizon” in November 2021 to attempt to locate over 150,000 released migrants and send their official charging documents by mail. However, the ICE training videos show that border officials were restricted in their ability to locate and remove illegal migrants without identifying information on them.

Florida AG Ashley Moody says she has obtained a copy of the training video.

“We have obtained ICE training videos that prove the @JoeBiden administration lost track of at least 150,000 illegal immigrants. Their plan NOW: mail letters begging the immigrants to show up for processing—that is, if they can even be located.”
