The Biden administration is sending the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to the U.S.’s southern border to care for unaccompanied migrant children amid a recent influx.
The border is still closed between the United States and Canada, but there was certainly some action happening at The Peace Bridge.
Customs and Border Protection officers were able to seize a large amount of marijuana that someone was trying to bring across the border.
Officers selected a commercial shipment that was manifested as “empty plastic bottles” for additional examination. The truck was escorted to the dock and then searched by a canine which produced an alert on the cardboard boxes inside. That led to a physical inspection of the trailer where officers found vacuum sealed bags. The bags field-tested positive for the properties of marijuana and has an estimated street value of over $1.3 million dollars.

Biden Administration Hesitant on Message for Migrants
The administration is struggling to communicate a promising message to migrants while also urging them to not cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
President Joe Biden’s coordinator for the southern border, Ambassador Roberta Jacobson, recognized the administration is struggling to communicate a promising message to migrants while also urging them to not cross the U.S.-Mexico border until the immigration system is set in stone. “I think, when you look at the issue of mixed messages, it is difficult at times to convey both hope in the future and the danger that is now. And that is what we’re trying to do,” Jacobson said as the number of migrants grew at the border this past week. Smugglers, on the other hand, are spreading the word that the border is ready for a huge flow of migrants.

COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. (KGUN) â We re on our own out here, Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels said.
On President Biden s first day in office, he signed an executive order that terminated the construction of the border wall.
Construction at the southwest border in Cochise County stopped, but the migrants kept coming. Now, both migrants and cartels are using the roads left behind from construction. What we have now is walking paths for the carter for their smuggling efforts, Dannels said. We just built infrastructure for the cartels.
