Quote:As thousands of Texans prepare to evacuate their cities due to Hurricane Harvey, the United States Border Patrol said it is not planning to close its roadside immigration checkpoints north of the Rio Grande Valley unless there is a danger to travelers or its agents.https://www.texastribune.org/2017/08/24/...ne-harvey/
Run for your lives everyone! Unless you're a dirty brown who doesn't want to be deported, ofc. Maybe you should just stay put for the storm surge. We'll likely be rid of you either way, good luck.
-as per the story, an agency statement reads:
Quote:The Border Patrol is a law enforcement agency and we will not abandon our law enforcement duties.
It's amusing what duties, and whom, our government will or won't abandon during a hurricane...isn't it.
