Warren And Markey Demand CBP Withdraw Plan To Deploy Heavily Armed Officers


Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren are demanding that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) withdraw a plan to deploy agents -- including members of its heavily-armed Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) — to Boston and other American cities that have chosen not to cooperate with President Trump's immigration policies.

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official in Boston has confirmed that some of those officers are already working in Boston with local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

In a letter to the heads of CBP, DHS and ICE, Markey and Warren call the initiative "unnecessary, unwelcome, dangerous, menacing, retaliatory and unlikely to achieve its stated goal."

They go on to say BORTAC agents are supposed to be used to handle dangerous situations outside the normal scope of Border Patrol agent duties - not for "run-of-the-mill immigration arrests" in some of America's largest cities.
