>> well, if you look at cbp website they've got 1.9 enforcement actions. they're not counting the aliens that show up at the port of everyone tri. they don't all -- port of entry. they turn themself over to cbp officers and they're not counting the number in the figures. if you go back 15, 10 years ago, they used to count the numbers at once. the 1.9, they don't want to compare that to historical figures. it's already the worst ever historically. the 1.9 would be a far worse story. even 1.7 is a historic figure. if you look at the day taxer it's really 1.9. alicia: as we see the few caravan that is more org's organized,they can register wit. we're hearing from the governor from west virginia on the tim pacts he has seen. -- the impacts he has seen. take a listen. >> if we have seen an immediate uptick from the standpoint of deaths coming from drugs and we have -- it is a direct correlation with what is happening at at the border. now, just imagine how far we are from the border and a lot of people would think, well, we're protected and everything. but we h

>> we have a good working relationship with cbp. the officers are phenomenal, border patrol customs work hand-in-hand with local police department and sheriff's and texas department of public safety national guard so we have law enforcement entities working together so on that end, i trust cbp officers day in and day out there protecting, keeping the borders safe but by the way, when you're looking up the numbers, right now this year they are at unprecedented numbers but in 1986, 1.7 million apprehensions and in 2000, 1.6. this year we might end up with 2 million or so apprehensions more so we have these urges before, they've done a tremendous job but right now, we must address it from congress perspective, must address this because if not will keep seeing this but we don't have the resources, we are going to work with them as much as possible to make sure if we do have a way, it is quickly as possible because the majority are not going to stay in the community. like it or not, that's one of the things going back to the comprehensiv

they referred us to cbp. those officials tell us "per rolling individuals from border patrol custody on a case-by-case basis and enrolling the heads of households of family units into alternative detention programs as well as conditioning parole on removal proceedings provides mechanisms to require family units released from cbp custody to report to i.c.e. within the specified time frame." the other thing that the documents showed, they have released more than 95,000 immigrants into the country. notice to report. please show up to an immigration office within 60 days. they have released about 40,000 illegal immigrants since august 6 on their own recognizance. one other thing. on one single day last month, september 28, the federal government release 128 legal immigrants into the country without any method of tracking them whatsoever. i asked the feds. they did not give me an answer. send it back to you. >> trace: people hear about this and that's why they come north. bill melugin in texas. thank you. america'

cbp has lost 20 some, 30 some people this year because of covid. you're watching the border get out of control from the mistake of rescinding policies without the right preparation. and, again, those men and women are the ones that have to pick up the pieces. imagine going to work processing thousands or being in the company of thousands of people who are largely unvaccinated, finishing your shift and then having to go home after that. it's very demoralizing for them. and now they're put upon by having a mandate to get a vaccine. many of these people have already had covid, and there's no accommodation for testing, for people that have antibodies. and so i'm very concerned about their morale. they don't have a choice, you know? this is a resilient work force. they work hard, they're a can-do culture, but it's got to be -- it is very tough for them right now. mike: ron vitiello, thanks so much for your time and analysis today. >> thank you. mike: britney spears speaking out on instagram now that her father has been suspended as her conservator. what

i looked at the cbp data. over 600,000 aliens have been released into the united states. 600,000. add to that almost 400,000 got-aways. one million illegal aliens that came here illegally because of the action of joe biden. i want to say this also. joe biden is the first president in the history of this nation that came into office within days unsecured the border. the trump administration, we handed him the most secure border in my 35 years. within days, he unsecured it. the president of the united states with the help of the secretary of homeland security have unsecured the most secure border we ever had, which resulted in unprecedented illegal immigration, unprecedented of trafficking of women and children and 92,000 over dose deaths, this is what the president has done. it's-hard for me to say that we have a president that is facilitating cross-border crime. unsecured the border. it's unbelievable. >> sean: and in the middle of the pandemic, he builds overcrowded cages with preferential treatment, americans have vaccine mandates and testing. they're not even testing people. th

statistically, it always includes rapists, murderers, potential terrorists every single year if you look at cbp's statistics publicly available. those all exist in who we actually catch. to think there is not just as bad or worse people in those getting away would be naive. >> bret: when you hear secretary mayorkas said the border is as secure as it was before. what do you say? >> that's just not true. while many of the political appointees assigned currently literally just lack the knowledge and expertise that they could make a statement like that and believe that it was true, is he a very smart guy. he has got a lot of experience in homeland security. he knows what he's doing. he knows the impacts. i have sat in a room and heard some of the comments he made. he knows what's going on. and he knows that border is not as secure today as it was on january 19th. >> bret: over the next two days, we will dig deep on the issue of border security, immigration, and our exclusive interview with rodney scott, again, just retired in august, as the head of border patrol, that, again, is tuesday and wednesday

. >> it happened here in the rio grande valley where according to the cbp record 150,000 apprehensions were made in fiscal year 2021. an increase of 500 percent over the previous year. it happened in front of a couple texas national guard members. >> we are trying to repel [inaudible] there is time for they have already -- back. >> operation lone star is the effort by the state of texas to crack down on illegal immigration crime. humvees are starting to line high trafficked areas in hopes of deterring the large caravan making its way through mexico. since march, the texas demght department of public safety says it has made over 1400 arrests for trespassing. the state also says it has seized 10,000 pounds of marijuana. more than 3,000 pounds of cocaine and meth. and 132-pound of fentanyl. a staggering amount that equates to 30 million lethal doses. as for caravan fox news saw officials key port three bus loads of migrants on this plane. it's not know where these deported caravan members were taken or more in the coming days, that leaves some good news for texas officials gearing up for

we went several months with well over 200,000 encounters by cbp at the border. thousands released into the country, right? so that encourages more people to get into that pipeline and come to the united states and what we see on that film is the results of that chaos. these cartel members essentially control that territory on their side of the border and they decide who gets and what gets across that line. versus the border patrol and cbp stopping bad things and bad people coming into the united states. so, chaos is reigning now. see where the problem is starting and going and it's getting worse. will: ron wonder something else take away from this video. i have been fascinated by mexican drug cartel politics and fighting. i remember 10 years ago now the big fight in knave vo laredo over who controlled that territory between the cartels. they were fighting over that territory because they wanted to control that very lucrative transporting point for drugs and now i'm wondering is what we are fight amongst carlings to control what is essentially a human trafficking

in response, cbp official tells fox news in part for rolling individuals from border patrol custody on a case-by-case basis and enrolling the heads of households of family units into programs as well as conditioning the parole on reporting them to be placed in removal proceedings requires mechanisms to be released from custody to report to ice within a specified time. and, bret, another thing we noticed in those documents is on one single day in one sector, del rio sector, september 28th, the federal government released 128 single adults into the united states with no way of tracking them, no atd alternative to dissension, as they call it, no ankle monitors, no tracking. i reached out to the federal government, asked why that happened, never got an answer. send it back to you. >> bret: keep on it, bill melugin along the border, thank you. the u.s. will reopen its land borders to nonessential travel next month. it will end a 19 month freeze due to the covid-19 pandemic. the new rules will allow fully vaccinated foreign nationals to enter the u.s. regardless of the reason for travel, sta

specifically for border patrol and cbp and bringing us in to that arena to see what the other threats are that are out there. and they are real. we are getting better every day to shut all of that off and to put people's lives at risk in kansas or chicago or everywhere else. >> bret: because people on the border they feel it whether they're democrats or republicans. they are passionate about this issue. >> correct. >> bret: but you are saying it should affect every state. >> yeah. people watching this right now i think some of them and say that's a border problem. they are not staying there. and those 400,000 people that avoided arrest, they clearly didn't stay at the border. they might be living down the street from you. who are they? what's the threat? i just can't tell you that because we didn't interact with them. but i can tell you we -- the border patrol arrested over 10,000 criminal aliens last year out of the people that they came in contact with. the other thing that gets missed sometimes, that means they have been in the u.s. before and committed a crime. there is no global

this is cbp's press release from yesterday. three ms-13 gang members arrested in the rgv along a fourth criminal migrant with outstanding warrant for his arrest for sex offenses in dallas. bribe, ainsley, steve? steve: griff, you have been down to our southern border some times. you have been in detention and the distribution centers, essentially. did anybody ever -- did you ever hear down there, you know what? we are going to take them out of the airport and fly them all over the country? >> we saw coordinated flights moving migrants overwhelming holding areas in rgv if you remember, steve i reported when i went to el paso early on when this crisis began. they were moving to alleviate the overwhelmed detention areas. nothing like this. that has a coordinated chartered flights with this mercy first catholic charities organization to move the kids to the interior. although it's clear now from the statement from the hhs spokesman it's happening large scale. brian: griff, we heard they are moving all the unaccompanied minors and f

there is a host of mission sets within cbp that this individual has no experience whatsoever. is he against the border wall system that will put him in direct odds with the men and women of the border patrol who have asked for that effective border wall system. not only the trump administration but also ask the biden administration. he is for sanctuary policies. is he for amnesty. has really advocated for a number of policies that put him on the wrong side of the majority of americans. brian: remain in mexico could come back. up to mexico to agree to it. will they? they in violation of international law the biden administration by doing this now what do you think? >> i think this is an interesting point very clear what we did during the trump administration. the remain in mexico program. unilateral action taken by the united states that the government of mexico toe must react to and provide facilities for. so this idea that it has to be agreed to is not actually accurate. yes, you need to make sure that the mexican government is set up to take these individuals and you give th

cbp has done an extremely good job of checking the trucks and a check in the this material and it is an overwhelming problem run by the cartels. and the dea is working extremely hard on this manner. dumb academic matter. when i was in mexico city we talked in their security and the secretary as i raised precisely this issue. >> the gentleman's time is expired. >> thank you mr. chairman. mr. attorney general, as someone who was born in the soviet union, i am disturbed, very disturbed, by the use of the department of justice as a political tool, and its power to suppress public discourse. the fbi has started to resemble all kgb with secret surveillance and wiretapping and surveillance of citizens. it's interesting that during the soviet era the united states criticized the use of the domestic terrorism concept in the ussr as a tool to suppress free speech and political dissent. in your recent statement in the antiabortion law you said it is the foremost responsibility of the department of justice to defend the constitution. do you plan to defend the second amended rights which are expl

griff: now, yesterday afternoon, i was pressing cbp for specific number i would like to get. now, we know on record that there are more than 325 gang members that have been apprehended this fiscal year more than 150 in the rgv where we have had a reporter and, lawrence, where you have been. i asked him how many migrants have hit the terrorist screening data base the tsdb and they said we don't keep that number but when i was in panama, i was told that at least 52 terrorists, known terrorists had crossed that darian gap in route to the u.s. guys. lawrence: griff, we know there are 30,000 migrants waiting right now to cross that border. real quickly and i know you stated this with the leader of that group. for the audience, why are people coming now? griff: they are coming now, lawrence, because they are getting a clear message that if you come, you will succeed. no matter how treacherous your journey is, if you survive that journey, you will be allowed to say. in fact, rachel, as you mentioned earlier, there are 12 couples in tijuana where i spent time in that camp that just g
