Border Patrol union head says reported Biden plan to keep migrants in Texas won’t help agents: 'More rhetoric'
Fox News
The head of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, said Saturday that a reported plan to keep migrants in Texas would not help agents or help secure the southern border.
The Los Angeles Times reported this week that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering a policy to force some illegal migrant families to remain in Texas by tracking them with GPS monitoring devices, including ankle bracelets.

The Times reported that the families would be put through an asylum process to determine if they could stay, and if not, they could be more easily deported due to their proximity to the border. The program would be an expansion of the Family Expedited Removal Program, which imposes curfews and monitors families that have traveled to large cities.
