Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin said he has “tremendous concern” that felons and terrorists are among the “gotaways” crossing the southern border. Chief Modlin stated that many migrants crossing the border near Tuscon are single males, likely using the “inhospitable” route because they are “previously deported felons.”

He speculated that the increase in encounters was due partly to migrants believing that the Biden administration supported open-border policies. “Interviewing [migrants] post-arrest, what became the most common response was that they believed that when the administration changed, the policy changed, and that there was an open border,” Modlin said.
