A report from the Associated Press released Monday night seemed to paint a grim picture of the conditions at the border just over four months since Harris’ appointment to the role.
David Shahoulian, the assistant secretary for border and immigration policy at the Department of Homeland Security, told the AP that U.S. authorities likely picked up more than 19,000 unaccompanied children in the month and the number of people encountered in families is expected to be about 80,000—which was just short of the all-time high in May 2019 when there were 88,857.
DHS and U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. The border issue has been a tense topic in Washington. Democrats blame the Trump administration for the surge and Republicans accuse Harris of clear mismanagement. Her office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News seeking comment. —nearly 100 days after being tapped for the role—and said the administration was"making extreme progress" when it came to the surge.
"And being in Guatemala, and being in Mexico talking with Mexico as a partner frankly on the issue, was about addressing the causes and coming to the border at the advice and invitation of [Rep. Veronica Escobar] is about looking at the effects of what we have seen happening in Central America," she said.
