BISMARCK (KFGO KVRR) – The Biden Administration says there are no plans to move migrants from areas near the U.S.-Mexico border to northern states, including North Dakota.
According to emails reviewed by the Washington Post, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is overwhelmed and wants the Biden administration to transport migrants to states near the Canadian border for processing.
Sen. Kevin Cramer says the Department of Homeland Security recently told him that transferring immigrants to North Dakota “won’t happen.”
“Putting illegal immigrants in North Dakota would endanger our communities and do nothing to fix the border crisis” Cramer said.
Officials have steadfastly refused to call the detention of more than 15,000 children in U.S. custody, or the conditions they’re living under, a crisis.
