Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told reporters in a closed-door roundtable Wednesday that he does not expect agents to see up to 18,000 arrests in a single day as had been forecast by the Department of Homeland Security when Title 42 was slated to end last year.
"I think that what we see now is continued effort by some to message incorrectly that once Title 42 goes away, it’s going to be a free for all along the border," Ortiz said."I don’t see that being the case. Our agents will be out there performing their duties." Border Patrol data indicated that more than 10,000 people were taken into custody Tuesday for illegally entering the country, far below Trump’s claim.
