Frederick County Sheriff Heading To Texas For Firsthand Look At Border Crisis

Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, along with six other sheriffs from across the nation, will meet in McAllen, Texas, on Wednesday and Thursday to get a firsthand look at the recent border surge and to assess this new population’s potential local impact.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has taken custody of more than 57,000 unaccompanied children since Oct. 1, a 106 percent increase from fiscal 2013. Approximately 75 percent of these children are coming from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, arriving at the U.S. border after weeks of dangerous travel.

The seven sheriffs will meet with state and federal officials dealing with the situation, and they plan to press federal officials to take definitive steps to stop the influx of people entering the country illegally, according to a news release issued by Lt. Jennifer Bailey, Jenkins’ acting spokeswoman.
