Shocking video of a large number of illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody and then provided with transportation to a Texas airport is a reminder that President Joe Biden’s immigration policies have been a monumental disaster for America.
While such issues as massive inflation, empty store shelves, a scheme to federalize elections under the pretense of “voting rights” and saber-rattling at Russia over Ukraine have dominated the news, the border remains porous as the administration facilitates safe passage for migrants at a time when COVID is raging out of control.
In the videos which were posted to Twitter by Fox News National correspondent Bill Melugin, a large number of mostly adult males were observed in Brownsville, Texas where they were bussed to for processing at an office with a sign reading “Border Patrol drop-off” and then put into taxi cabs which then took them to the airport.
Melugin observed that there were black tarps set up to conceal the operation from public view, typical of the Biden regime’s lack of transparency.
There are black tarps set up around the parking garage to obstruct the public’s view. In a statement, the city of Brownsville confirmed to me that they use this spot to work with the federal government to facilitate travel for the migrants released from federal custody. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/c7kgs4rgyL

In his latest bombshell piece of reporting, the intrepid Melugin detailed the mass release which was all caught on video by a Fox News team.
In the first video, the migrants were filmed disembarking from a federally contracted vehicle, exiting from the office where they were dropped off and entering the taxicabs which were followed to the airport to await flights to various U.S. locations.
NEW: We witnessed the federal gov mass releasing single adult migrants, almost all men, at a parking garage in Brownsville. Taxi cabs were then called for them. We followed the taxis to Harlingen airport, where the migrants were dropped off to get on flights around U.S. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/HcSSwtjMnR

A second video shows another bus pulling up to the same parking garage to release “dozens of predominately singe male adult migrants,” according to Melugin; a bus driver confirmed that the location served as a drop off for ICE.

In another video posted an hour and a half later, the 4th group in the last two hours was dropped off, some of them were observed wearing ankle monitors.

Melugin provided more detail of a group that had received travel folders from an NGO, he emphasized that they were all single adult men without families.

According to the Fox News report by Melugin, “Several of the migrants told Fox that they had crossed illegally that morning, paying approximately $2,000 per person to cartel smugglers. They also said they were flying to destinations including Miami, Houston and Atlanta.”
“In a statement to Fox News, the city of Brownsville said its Office of Emergency Management, through federal assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), works to facilitate “the transfer of these migrants to their final destination by allowing them to use services to contact their families, NGOs, or a taxicab,” he wrote.
Republicans took to Twitter to weigh in on Melugin’s reporting, led by Rep. Debbie Lesko of Arizona who said, “We are flying illegal immigrants around our nation while we have an escalating border crisis. What if just ONE of these individuals with no documentation is a terrorist? There is no record of who is coming and going.”
She added, “Democrats continue to put American lives in danger. SHAMEFUL!”

“Biden’s border crisis has endangered American communities and made EVERY state a border state,” the House Republicans Twitter account wrote.
According to Fox News,”The development comes just as CBP officially released its December border numbers — showing 178,840 encounters in December, a slight increase over November, but significantly higher than the 73,994 encountered in December 2020.”
