The acting Department of Homeland Security secretary attempted to clarify confusion surrounding the relocation of migrants
Kevin McAleenan, the acting Department of Homeland Security secretary, appeared on CNN’s Face the Nation on Sunday and attempted to clarify confusion surrounding the proposed relocation of migrants to Florida and other locations across the U.S, including sanctuary cities.
The CNN interview came after several days of controversy over whether migrants who crossed the border without proper documentation would be relocated to the Broward and Palm Beach counties in Florida. McAleenan elaborated that Buffalo, New York and Detroit, Michigan were no longer in consideration. Instead, the department is looking at places with “high capacity border control sectors” including San Diego, California, and other Southwest border facilities.The acting secretary further clarified that the agency is not prioritizing sending migrants to sanctuary cities, a claim made by President Donald Trump in an apparent effort to roil his political foes.
When asked directly if the agency was sending migrants to locations that don’t criminalize undocumented immigrants, McAleenan eventually said “no,” but only after a brief back and forth with host Margaret Brennan.“Our transportation is based on operational necessity and capacity to process safely,” he said. “That’s what we’re doing.
