Law enforcement is sweeping the streets of El Paso, Texas, for thousands of illegal immigrants camped in the city.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a press release on Monday evening announcing a “targeted enforcement operation” taking place in El Paso ahead of the repeal of Title 42, a Trump-era health order that has allowed border agents to immediately expel illegal aliens from the country.
“Immigration enforcement agents will process individuals for vetting and placement into Title 42 expulsion or Title 8 removal proceedings, as applicable,” CBP said, according to The Washington Examiner. “Noncitizens who pose a threat to national security or public safety will be transferred to ICE for detention.”
