President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may open Fort Bliss, the United States Army post in New Mexico and Texas, in anticipation of tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens arriving at the border as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Title 42 order ends in weeks.
Last week, a federal judge struck down Title 42 — the public health authority that was first imposed by former President Trump in 2020 to allow Border Patrol agents to very quickly remove border crossers and illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.
Rather than appealing the judge’s decision, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asked the court for five weeks to wind down Title 42.
During an El Paso, Texas, city council meeting, officials suggested they have asked the Biden administration to consider opening Fort Bliss to house thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens that are expected to arrive within hours and days of Title 42 ending on December 21.
“We have made that point very clear to the federal government that, you know, one way to solve this also would be to open up Fort Bliss — no different than how we did with the Afghans,” a city official said, referencing when the Biden administration opened the military base to thousands of Afghans flown to the U.S. last year.
“We’ve reached out, we’ve challenged everyone we’ve talked to … with respect to this crisis,” the official said.
City officials also revealed that Biden’s DHS has released nearly 72,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into El Paso, alone, in the last five months. Those testing positive for the Chinese coronavirus are being put up in hotel rooms, often paid for by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) funded by the local government and the Biden administration. --->READ MORE HERE
Last week a Federal Judge struck down Title 42 which was established under the Trump administration during COVID. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Title 42 allowed law enforcement to remove border crossers and illegal aliens who crossed the Texas-Mexican border.
Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas asked for five more weeks before the law was overturned. So, Title 42 will remain in effect until December 21 which is less than four weeks from now.
A city official referenced how Afghans were housed at Fort Bliss last year and believe the same should be done for migrants crossing the Texas-Mexican border.
At a city council meeting, it was discussed opening Fort Bliss to house migrants once Title 42 is lifted.
