    The Biden administration is looking to increase deportation flights carrying illegal immigrants to Venezuela as border numbers have shattered records. Officials said removal flights are a critical part of their strategy. In December, border encounters hit a new high of over 302,000, breaking last year's record. While encounters have recently decreased due to Mexican enforcement, Republicans blame the crisis on Biden policies and demand more asylum limits, which Democrats oppose. The administration defends its approach but seeks more border funding in congressional negotiations.

    Biden admin eyes more deportation flights to Venezuela


    as migrant numbers shatter records
    Officials said removal flights are a 'critical' part of the administration strategy

    Republicans have an obligation to deliver on border: Rep. Chip Roy


    Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, explains why hes is not joining the House GOPs visit to the border and discusses the record migrant encounter numbers.

    The Biden administration is looking to increase the number of deportation flights carrying
    illegal immigrants to Venezuela, as migrant numbers have broken records at the southern
    border – and it is unclear when a deal can be reached on border security in Washington.

    Ina call with reporters on Tuesday evening, senior administration officials said they
    commended Mexico for beginning deportation flights to Venezuela in the last week, which
    echoes a similar move by the U.S. to begin flights to Mexico in October.

    The move comes as U.S. and Mexican officials met last week to discuss the migration
    challenges facing the two countries, a meeting that officials described as productive, but
    that drew scrutiny from Republicans for the inclusion of talks about the "benefits" of
    "regularizing" illegal immigrants already in the country.

    Officials on Tuesday said that Mexico has taken "enhanced enforcement operations" to
    decongest the border region, which will allow ports of entry to re-open on Thursday at
    locations in Eagle Pass, Texas, San Ysidro, California, Lukeville, Arizona and Nogales,
    Arizona.

    Officials said they had seen increased enforcement in Mexico, leading to a decrease in
    encounters in recent days, as well as increased security on trains to stop migrants using
    them to head to the border.

    "We've seen Mexico really step up in terms of taking actions, and so that's been greatly
    appreciated," one official said.

    However, any drop in encounters comes after December shattered records for migrant
    encounters, with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources telling Fox News that
    there were over 302,000 encounters – which includes illegal immigrants and migrants
    appearing at ports of entry. The previous record was set in September, when there were
    269,000 encounters.

    That comes at the end of a calamitous year at the border, which saw daily records broken
    repeatedly and an FY 23 which broke the all-time record for yearly encounters with 2.4
    million encounters.

    It’sled to enormous political pressure on the Biden administration from not only
    Republicans but also state and local Democratic officials who have seen migrants
    flooding into cities like New York, Chicago and Denver. There, mayors have demanded
    more funding and more federal action.

    FUNDING TO DEAL WITH MIGRANT CRISIS

    Republicans have blamed the crisis on the administration's policies and called on it to
    impose stricter limits on asylum and limit the use of humanitarian parole. A supplemental
    funding request containing aid for the border as well as Ukraine and Israel is currently
    being held up as lawmakers try to come to an agreement. Any limits on asylum are likely
    to face fierce opposition from left-wing Democrats.

    The administration has dismissed the Republican narrative that it has fueled the crisis
    with "open border" policies. Officials have said they are increasing consequences for
    illegal entry, while also expanding "lawful migration pathways" and on Tuesday said it has
    conducted more than 460,000 returns of illegal immigrants since Title 42 ended in May,
    more removals than in all of FY 19.

    One official on Tuesday said that "we do have the intention of ramping up repatriation
    flights to Venezuela" and that the administration sees it as a "critical part" of the broader
    immigration strategy.

    "It’s an important deterrent," they said.
