Florida officials demand answers on Trump admin. plan to send 1,000 'unlawful immigrants and asylum-seekers' a month to two heavily Democratic counties
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said they were informed of the basics of the plan this week by border patrol operations in Miami, but had not been able to get any specifics.

No accommodations for transportation leaving there, no accommodations for shelter or a place to live, just no real plan on what's going to happen to these 500 people.

at the White House."They say we have open arms, they're always saying they have open arms, let's see if they have open arms." The CBP official who spoke with reporters Friday said the agency is not considering whether or not the areas they're sending migrants to are sanctuary cities — only whether they have the capacity to temporarily detain, process and release them.
