CBP encounters highest monthly number of migrants attempting to cross border since 2000.
Asylum-seeking migrant families from Central America wait to be processed by the U.S. Border Patrol agents after crossing the Rio Grande river into the United States from Mexico in Roma, Texas, July 30, 2021.
But Shahoulian, in the court filing, said that CBP has"limited capacity to hold and process families, and the current migrant surge and ongoing pandemic have only compounded these issues." "And although the rate of infection among CBP officers had been declining, this rate recently began increasing again, even though the percentage of officers and agents who have been fully vaccinated has grown significantly since January. This has led to increasing numbers of CBP personnel being isolated and hospitalized," he said.
