From Fox News: The federal government has been bussing and flying illegal immigrants caught at California’s overwhelmed southern border out of state instead of potentially reverting to releasing them onto the street over fears it could look bad with just weeks before the November election, one local official said.

San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said the U.S. Border Patrol informed him that the releasing of migrants was potentially set to resume last week. Around 155,000 migrants were released in San Diego from September 2023 through June, he told Fox News Digital.

Until June, migrants in San Diego were dropped off at the Iris Avenue train station, Desmond said. Currently, three buses leave the county daily to take migrants to Yuma, Arizona, he said. Additionally, three to four airplanes are flying illegal immigrants weekly from San Diego to the border city of McAllen, Texas, where facilities are not full, the supervisor said.

“It appears to be the federal government trying to cover up by bussing people out of the area here instead of doing street releases,” Desmond said. “To me, I think the optics of having more people dropped off, or starting that drop-off process again, I think is politically harmful, and so they’re not going to do it until potentially after the election.”

In a social media post over the weekend, Desmond wrote, “Border Patrol officials have informed me that street releases were set to resume again last Friday in San Diego County, adding to the more than 155,000 in the past year. But with the election around the corner, the Federal Government was worried about the optics, so every day, they’re bussing illegal immigrants from San Diego to Yuma, Arizona, to fly them across the country. This isn’t about securing the border for the Feds—it’s about optics.”

On Monday, Desmond doubled down with a video statement, and wrote, “Officials informed me that street releases were set to resume again last Friday in San Diego County. In a blatant attempt to protect their image before the election, the Federal Government has opted to quietly transfer migrants out of state instead of addressing the real issue.”

“Every day, numerous buses are now driving illegal immigrants from San Diego to Yuma, Arizona, where they are flown across the country. Additionally, 3 to 4 planes a week are flying illegal immigrants from San Diego to McAllen, Texas, where facilities are not full.”
