On Sunday, the Tucson, Arizona, Sector Border Patrol social media accounts were paused as the organization deals with a massive surge in illegal immigrants coming across the southern border in its sector.
In a statement on X, Chief Patrol Agent of the US Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, John R. Modlin said, “In light of the ongoing migration surge, all Tucson Sector Border Patrol social media accounts will be paused until further notice.”
In reaction to the move, Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin noted that those accounts “post valuable info and data.” He added, “Regardless of the reasoning behind this, this is such a bad look. Essentially, the border crisis in the sector is so bad that they’re going to cut off all communication and transparency with the public.”
