More than two dozen Border Patrol officers have been transferred to the northern border to respond to a historic spike in the number of Mexican immigrants crossing into the United States from Canada, according to a report.
Customs and Border Protection has assigned 25 extra agents to a busy section of the Canadian frontier that borders New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, NBC News reported on Monday, citing an agency spokesperson.
Some of the reassigned agents were pulled from their previous duties on the US-Mexican border, the report said.
