DHS Asking For Staff To Volunteer To Assist At Border As Crisis Overwhelms Law Enforcement

The Department of Homeland Security admitted on Wednesday that there is now a desperate need for additional assistance to handle an influx of asylum seekers and, particularly, unaccompanied minors who are jumping the border in record numbers.

“Today, I activated the Volunteer Force to support Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as they face a surge in migration along the Southwest Border,” DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an email that was shown to Fox News.
