Brandon Judd, head of the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union representing Border Patrol agents, told Fox News last week CBP was told months ago that the Del Rio bridge was a weak point. CBP sources told Fox News this week that 224 miles of the Rio Grande river border have been left unpatrolled as a consequence. A Border Patrol source told Fox that the surge in resources meant not only fewer boats along the border, but also fewer agents patrolling the border on horseback. Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Thomas Homan said on "Fox & Friends" that the move had left the border "unguarded." "When you surge resources to the RGV in the Del Rio Sector that leaves two hundred and twenty four miles of border unguarded."
