On Saturday, the Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector Chief Paul Beeson said that nearly 300 Central American migrants would be moved from south Texas to California for processing. He told media persons that there would be two flights with 140 passengers each on Monday, and the flights would continue every three days.
But, a spokesperson for the Border Patrol’s parent agency yesterday announced that the flights had been cancelled. The spokesperson didn’t give any reason for the cancellation of the flights.
Announcing the cancellation, the Customs & Border Protection’s Ralph DeSio said, “This whole thing is in a very fluid state,” DeSio said. “I’m not sure if the plans will be reactivated but, as we’re speaking here this moment, it has been canceled. Tomorrow is another day.”
