FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., on Thursday introduced legislation that would require federal immigration authorities to notify local authorities of an impending release of migrants into their communities.
That information would include the number of those being released, the destinations and their final destinations, as well as any criminal histories. It would appropriate $400,000 in FY 2023 and 2024 to carry out such a program.
"When migrants are released without warning, the lack of communication can overwhelm law enforcement agents and public services and create desperate situations for migrants who find themselves in an unknown town with no direction," he said in a statement. "It’s no secret that the administration has been releasing illegal migrants into towns across the country. Local communities and law enforcement are completely caught off guard and overwhelmed by the release of migrants who are left wandering the streets in a country they have never set foot in before," he said."To make matters worse, most often there is no communication between ICE, CBP and local officials prior to the release of migrants into our communities.
