House Republicans call for Biden to ‘immediately terminate’ program that flew 320K migrants into US cities

March 10, 2024

group of House Republicans fired off a pointed letter to the Biden administration, calling for the president to “immediately terminate” a program that has flown in more than 320,000 migrants into the U.S.

We write today to express our grave concerns over the Biden administration’s actions to fly approximately 320,000 illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 cities across the United States,” the letter from Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) acting director Troy Miller said. “These secretive flights have compounded the effects of the already historic crisis at the Southern Border.” Fry was joined by 22 GOP lawmakers to demand answers about the continued crisis on the southern border.

Fry cited a report by the Center for Immigration Studies that revealed how CBP has allowed “secret flights” to transport illegal aliens from Latin America to communities across the U.S. “The Biden administration’s usage of the CBP One mobile application has exasperated this deposit of illegal immigrants in our country,” Fry wrote.
