Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) highlights the increase in migrant activity at the border and asserts that migrants are aware that they will receive aid from Border Patrol rather than being turned away. Cuellar acknowledges that while the majority of asylum claims are denied, there haven't been widespread deportations. He stresses the importance of addressing the factors that attract migrants and allocating sufficient funds to ICE for deportations.

In New York City, a 24-year-old migrant was tragically killed in a stabbing incident at a processing center. The city, which is already grappling with a migrant crisis, has established a tent city on Randall's Island. This temporary settlement is funded by taxpayers. The situation raises concerns about crime and has sparked political debates surrounding immigration policies.
