More than 200 migrants surrendered to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Arizona Sunday morning, according to the agency.

“Early this morning another large group of 200+ illegal border crossers surrendered to Tucson Sector #USBP agents west of Lukeville,” according to the law enforcement group’s Arizona Twitter account.

The bust comes as immigration authorities are overloaded with migrants, and seeking placement solutions. A group of migrants that crossed the border illegally in the Rio Grande Valley will be moved to San Diego Monday afternoon. California is notoriously a “sanctuary state” for illegal aliens.

Thousands of migrants have trampled America’s borders in past months, while Democrats and elite politicians in Washington, D.C. insist there is no crisis at the border.

Big League Politics reported on one such incident in April:

Hundreds of migrants rushed the US-Mexico border at 1 AM Tuesday morning.

Citizen border watcher Jim Benvie’s Facebook Live in the wee hours of Tuesday morning shows hundreds of migrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras who crossed the US-Mexico border in the El Paso sector on the New Mexico-Texas line in the middle of the night. Border Patrol was originally nowhere to be found, as law enforcement is stretched thin.

Several hundred migrants showed up at “Camp Liberty,” where WeBuildTheWall is going up and down the southern border evaluating many locations for private construction. Benvie is a correspondent whose videos have appeared in many news sites.

“Whoever got in last night is going to be here for a while” Benvie told Big League Politics in an interview, though the Tuesday morning invaders were not violent. Even though only less than ten percent of them will qualify for amnesty, the migrants will still get court dates and will be able to stick around in the United States with EBT cards and other benefits.

Benvie told Big League Politics that terrorists are coming in, and the situation is dire.

“Basically we have to do things that are non-violent. We are not allowed to put them in cuffs. We are basically able to stop them using deterrents. Our guys dress with masks on their face. They carry AR-s, so people listen to what they’re telling them to do. If they start running from us, then we chase them but don’t touch them. If they hurt anybody, if they attack a Border Patrol officer, we can jump in and protect the officer,” Benvie told BLP.

Up to 200 Smuggled Illegals Run Out of 18-Wheeler Truck in Texas

200 illegal aliens escaped at once.

As many as two hundred illegal aliens fled from an 18-wheeler truck in Bexar County, Texas when the vehicle stopped at a QT gas station on Thursday, presenting a considerable public safety and security threat with the majority of the aliens still unaccounted for.

Witnesses described seeing a group of migrants that amounted to well above a hundred. The migrants fled an 18-wheeler truck near IH-37 and Loop 1604 at 6PM on Thursday, just as the winter storm in Texas hit the community at full strength.

Sheriff Javier Salazar is describing the migrants as nationals of Honduras and El Salvador. He revealed that the migrants were endangered by the smugglers that had shipped them in a refrigerated truck, with the aliens in danger of suffocating inside the airtight truck compartment.

ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations urged the public to come forward with information regarding the illegals in a statement regarding the incident.

“On Feb. 18, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) responded to a call from Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) for assistance on a possible human smuggling case involving a semi-tractor trailer discovered in a local gas station parking lot. About 50 individuals both males and females were encountered. The undocumented immigrants, from Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, are being assisted by community based organizations. HSI special agents interviewed the migrants as part of a criminal investigation, which is ongoing. The status of those encountered is being reviewed. HSI urges anyone with information about this smuggling attempt to call (866) 347-2423.”

Law enforcement believes that the individuals responsible for smuggling the illegals escaped into the nearby woods with the individuals they moved into the United States. Efforts to apprehend the migrant siphon law enforcement resources during a state of emergency, when law-abiding citizens of south Texas are at risk of freezing to death inside their own homes.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office spoke of apprehending 50 of the illegal immigrants shortly after the smuggling event, with more than a hundred illegals still loose.

Biden’s “America Last” approach to immigration and border security has immediately spurred a renaissance in human smuggling and illegal immigration, with smugglers advertising open borders to tentative migrants. Even as illegal migration spikes to levels unseen in years, the President instead is evaluating new proposals to convert ICE into a de facto customs agency, leaving the American people without an immigration law enforcement agency.
