And some of the migrants might even be in Desert Hot Springs by now. Who knows at this point where 10’s of thousands of them are? They are just being released into the country in random places without any oversight or protections. They’re simply being dropped off at bus stations in the Coachella Valley and other areas all over the nation.
With the everyday increasing likelihood that Desert Hot Springs will start taking in, or has already been taking in, illegal migrants that crossed the border without permission to enter the United States, should we be concerned here in DHS?
We should be concerned if we believe in the rule of law and our justice system. I don’t think we should be concerned with our safety too much. Unless it is that our safety is in jeopardy if/when ICE would come into Desert Hot Springs to retrieve Illegal Border Crossers if/when they are located after missing a court hearing.
But even that’s a long shot because California is acting as a sanctuary state by not complying with ICE requests to notify the Federal Government of people living in California who are here illegally. With that procedure being ignored and it being one of the main purposes of the Federal Government being to protect our borders, what does that say for California protecting our borders? Not much.
Here’s what the Breitbart article covers

Nearly 9-in-10 illegal aliens who have been recently released into the interior of the United States while they await their asylum hearings are not showing up to their court dates, according to a federal pilot program.
“For almost half a year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ramped up its catch and release of border crossers and illegal aliens, specifically those arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border with children.
Since December 21, 2018, DHS has released at least 190,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the United States. Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan told Congress this month that those foreign nationals are eventually given work permits that allow them to take U.S. jobs while awaiting their asylum hearings.
In testimony before Congress this month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said that the agency had recently conducted a pilot program with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to test how many recent illegal aliens would show up to their asylum hearings after being released into the U.S.
The results, an ICE official told Congress, were that about 87 percent of illegal aliens, or almost 9-in-10, recently released by DHS into the U.S. did not show up to their asylum hearings. With illegal aliens not showing up to their scheduled hearings, the ICE official said, the agency is then forced to grapple with attempting to locate and deport each illegal alien, an almost impossible task that strains federal resources.”
