ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING: Homeland Security Investigations Relegated to 'Babysitting' Duty Amid Migrant Influx; Report

According to a report from The Daily Caller, resources in Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are currently being diverted to assist with the influx of illegal migrants arriving at the southern border. More than 17,000 apprehensions were logged in the Tucson sector alone last week.

“They’re helping with transport [of illegal immigrants] and security of overflow area, absolutely nothing related to HSI work, 100% babysitting,” a Border Patrol agent, who requested anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak publicly, told the DCNF.

From The Daily Caller:

A federal law enforcement official with knowledge of the situation confirmed the duties of HSI to the DCNF, which include transportation and watching illegal immigrants in custody in the Tucson sector.

HSI agents are normally tasked with “criminal and civil investigations involving national security threats, terrorism, drug smuggling, child exploitation, human trafficking, illegal arms export, financial crimes, identity fraud, benefit fraud [and] commercial fraud,” according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Border Patrol recorded 17,500 apprehensions of illegal migrants in the Tucson sector last week, alone, according to Tucson Sector Chief John Modlin.

Additionally, Border Patrol agents from the northern and coastal borders of the U.S. have been called in to help virtually process migrants that crossed into the Tucson sector illegally.
