<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/immigration-and-customs-enforcement-ice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Immigration and Customs Enforcement</a> (ICE) has reportedly drafted plans to release thousands of illegal migrants and lower its capacity to detain them.</p>
<p>The move comes after Congress tanked a bipartisan border deal that was expected to correct an urgent $700 million budget deficit at ICE.</p>
<p>An internal proposal from ICE officials suggests releasing thousands of migrants and slashing detention beds from 38,000 to 22,000 to deal with the budget problem, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/14/immigration-customs-enforcement-budget-deficit-republicans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security blamed Congress for failing to pass the border bill.</p>
<div class="wpds-c-PJLV wpds-c-PJLV-bHCGeL-isStandardLayoutAd-true article-body" data-qa="article-body">“Most recently, Congress rejected the bipartisan national security bill out of hand, which will put at risk DHS’s current removal operations,” the spokesperson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/14/immigration-customs-enforcement-budget-deficit-republicans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “A reduction in ICE operations would significantly harm border security, national security, and public safety.”</div>
<p>Meanwhile, illegal crossings are expected to spike soon — crossings usually spike starting in the spring and remain high over the summer.</p>
<p>The border crisis has become a thorn in the side of Democrats as the election cycle heats up.</p>
<p>President Biden&#8217;s approval rating on immigration <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4394262-biden-approval-rating-on-handling-immigration-reaches-all-time-low-poll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hit</a> an all-time low of 32% last month, and his overall approval rating remains low as well.</p>
<p>Also on Tuesday, House Republicans voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border.</p>
<p>Border authorities have already <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cbp-migrant-encounters-exceed-1-million-october" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> encountered more than a million illegal migrants since the fiscal year began in October, the soonest they have ever hit that milestone.</p>
<p>In December, authorities encountered 302,000 migrants at the border, the highest monthly total on record and the first time the total has ever topped 300,000.</p>
<p>Overall last year, 2.5 million migrants were apprehended crossing or trying to cross the southern border, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-border-mexico-chinese-migrants-60-minutes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the CBP.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, more than 96,000 “known gotaways,” migrants who were detected but not caught, have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/over-96000-known-gotaways-at-southern-border-since-october-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> crossed the southern border since October 1.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Texas has sent at least 100,000 migrants to sanctuary cities including New York City, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., which are struggling to provide resources for them.</p>
<p>New York City is scrambling to metabolize the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/brawl-migrants-police-times-square-touches-off-backlash-106972953#:~:text=In%20press%20appearances%20Monday%2C%20Adams,the%20American%20Dream%20as%20criminal.%E2%80%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly</a> 175,000 migrants who have arrived since spring 2022. Last week, a group of migrants was arrested, but then quickly released for allegedly beating NYPD officers near Times Square.</p>
<p>In Chicago, Democrats are warning Mayor Brandon Johnson that the migrant crisis could &#8220;flip the state of Illinois purple.&#8221; Chicago has <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/migrants-in-chicago-migrant-crisis-mayor-brandon-johnson-news-illinois-governor-jb-pritzker/14390575/#:~:text=More%20than%2035%2C000%20migrants%20have,specific%20project%20by%20the%20city." target="_blank" rel="noopener">seen</a> more than 35,000 migrants arrive in the city over the last year and a half.</p>
<p>Denver is in the process of booting 800 families from overcrowded shelters.</p>
