Extra Border Patrol Agents Coming To Boston Area
Boston and other "sanctuary" cities will get additional SWAT agents under a new Trump administration order.
BOSTON, MA — The Trump administration is going to send Border Patrol agents to “sanctuary” cities around the country, including the Boston area. The Department of Homeland Security said the extra personnel will help ICE agents with immigration enforcement.
“ICE does not have sufficient resources to effectively manage the sustained increase in non-detained cases which is exacerbated by the rise of sanctuary jurisdictions,” a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
