The city of Laredo, Texas, sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in an attempt to halt Border Patrol from busing in immigrants into the city who were apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley as the southwest border continues to see a historic surge in illegal immigration.
The Rio Grande Valley Sector has been one of the main locations for large numbers of families, unaccompanied minors, and runaways during the border crisis, straining Border Patrol resources and facilities. In the complaint, Laredo said Border Patrol has been sending up to six buses, totaling around 350 people, a day to their area so they can be released, according to MyRGV.
