“It’s not an operationally sound effort,” said a senior DHS official, who added the city has “no exit strategy” to see that migrants find their way out of the shelter system.

An internal watchdog report says the agency has a limited ability to track migrants who have crossed the border once they are released in the U.S. to await their asylum hearings.

Those children, however, are American citizens under the 14th Amendment.

Some 350,000 migrants have crossed the dangerous Darien Gap so far this year, shattering last year’s record of fewer than 250,000.

Texas installed the 1,000-foot barrier this year to deter illegal migrant crossings.

One sacred site was "irreparably damaged" in Arizona when contractors used explosives to clear a path to expand an existing patrol road, a GAO report said.

The 1,000-foot barrier near Eagle Pass must go by Sept. 15, the judge said.

Ernesto Rocha-Cuadra’s family say they were notified of his death only when another detainee called them days later. 

“This is where all the immigrants that the governor wants to push out are needed,” a Mexican construction worker said, referring to the law meant to deter employing undocumented workers in Florida.
