"For the past five months, the number of removals has outpaced the number of apprehensions -- putting law enforcement on the offense in an ongoing battle against drug traffickers and human smugglers on the border. During the height of the migrant crisis in 2019, CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had released more than 80,000 immigrants into the interior United States.I'm not tired of winning.

"This is something I really want to emphasize. As a career law enforcement guy," Mark Morgan, acting CBP commissioner, told reporters on Wednesday.
