Reps. Calvert and Hunter Voice Concerns to Homeland Security Regarding Processing of Illegal Immigrants in Murrieta

Yesterday, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) sent a letter, along with Congressman Duncan Hunter (CA-50), to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson expressing their concerns and frustration regarding the reports that illegal immigrants detained in Texas may be transported for processing to Murrieta and Escondido, CA.

"The lack of communication and transparency by Homeland Security has understandably caused great concern in our community about the possible transportation of illegal immigrants from Texas into their city," said Rep. Calvert. "I strongly believe that the Obama administration must enforce our immigration laws and it must do a much better job sharing its plans with our local law enforcement and affected communities. I continue to be concerned that the Murrieta Border Patrol Station is ill-suited to detain and process the reported large numbers of illegal immigrants Homeland Security is considering to transport there. The lack of coordination and communication by Customs and Border Patrol only deepens my belief that immigrants should not be transported to California."
