Fox News
Extra border patrol agents have been transferred to points of the U.S.-Canada border as an influx of migrants are starting to cross into the country from the north.
"While the apprehension numbers are small compared to other areas with irregular migration flows, Swanton Sector apprehensions constitute a large change in this area," the CBP spokesperson told NBC. "The deployed team will serve as a force multiplier in the region and assist to deter and disrupt human smuggling activities being conducted in the Swanton Sector area of responsibility."
The agents have been transferred to the Swanton Sector of the U.S.-Canada border, which includes all of Vermont and parts of New York and New Hampshire. The sector has a 203-mile land border and a 92-mile water border.
