A US Customs and Border Protection patch is seen on the arm of an agent on October 6, 2022 in Imperial County, California. US Customs and Border Protection recently transferred 34 Mexican nationals from the Swanton Border Patrol Sector on the US border with Canada, to El Paso, Texas, for immigration processing at a southern border facility, according to a federal law enforcement source familiar with operations.
In January, the Border Patrol for the Swanton region recorded 367 encounters with migrants, up from January 2022. Meanwhile, encounters last month soared 945% to 418 from 40 encounters in February 2022. The flying of migrants from the agency's northern region to its southern region is not unique, the source said. It's a practice the agency calls decompression, which is an effort to move migrants out of areas that are at capacity and to areas with room for processing.
