   located just two miles away from the Border Patrol station, was

   12:07 p.m.: Here are some of the images from Murrieta, courtesy   
   of Desert Sun photographer Richard Lui:   
      
   11:26 a.m.: Ron Zermeno -- the union representative for the   
   Border Patrol agents in Murrieta and serves as the station's   
   health director – told The Desert Sun that he has serious   
   concerns about whether the station can handle even the first   
   wave of families.   
      
   The station, he said, has no dining or dorm facilities to   
   accommodate anyone detained for a long period of time. Instead,   
   Zermeno said the immigrants – mostly women and children -- will   
   be fed three meals a day in their cells.   
      
   "It's chaos. It's going to be a mess," he added.   
      
   The Murrieta station normally focuses on prosecuting drug-   
   related crimes, such as smuggling.   
      
   To handle the transfer from Texas – and process everyone within   
   72 hours -- Zermeno said routine operations are essentially   
   being suspended. All available resources, including the patrol   
   dogs, are being reassigned to this effort.   
      
   Zermeno declined to detail the staffing levels at the station   
   out of security concerns. But he said he requested more staff,   
   and got only five more supervisors.   
      
   "What does that say about the situation?" he said.   
      
   -- Ricardo Cano   
      
   11:15 a.m.: About 15 protesters are now outside of the Murrieta   
   station.   
      
   "We can't start taking care of others if we can't take care of   
   our own," said Nancy Greyson, a 60-year-old from Murrieta.   
      
   A crowd had gathered there Monday as well, some staying as late   
   as 1 a.m. Tuesday.   
      
   11:10 a.m.: The Desert Sun has learned the the flight from Texas   
   to San Diego has been delayed.   
      
   Families won't arrive in Murrieta until 12:30 p.m.   
      
   10:43 a.m.: About 140 migrant adults and children will arrive in   
   San Diego around 11 a.m. and then taken by bus to the Border   
   Patrol station in Murrieta.   
      
   About 10 protesters already are out there, voicing their   
   opposition to the federal government's plan.   
      
   10:05 a.m.: Murrieta Mayor Alan Long is encouraging the city's   
   107,000 residents to call elected leaders and voice opposition   
   to the Border Patrol plan.   
      
   "We want to make sure everyone is doing what they say they're   
   going to do," Long said.   
      
   Police are ready for any security issues, and are starting a   
   hotline to field questions about the transfers.   
      
   Many of the migrants are under the impression that they will   
   receive leniency from U.S. authorities. Once the migrants are   
   processed, Immigration and Customs Enforcement will decide who   
   can be released while awaiting deportation proceedings.

   9:44 a.m.: Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone on Tuesday   
   said the county offered to provide a mobile health clinic at the   
   Border Control station in Murrieta, but the federal government   
   declined the offer.   
      
   "It seems like we may need to be prepared for what I would call   
   a local state of emergency," said Stone, a Temecula Republican   
   now running for a state Senate district that includes the   
   Coachella Valley.   
      
   "We stand ready, and we are hoping to continue to work with our   
   congressman (U.S. Rep. Ken Calvert), with our U.S. Senators, to   
   do what the county is supposed to do, and that is to provide   
   social services for people that are in the county of Riverside   
   irrespective of their nationality. ... It's almost like a FEMA   
   event."   
      
   -- Barrett Newkirk   
      
   9:30 a.m.: Aides for U.S. Reps. Raul Ruiz, a Palm Desert, and   
   for U.S. Rep. Juan Vargas, a San Diego, confirmed the two   
   Democrats are keeping updated on the situation.   
      
   Ruiz is scheduled to be in El Centro Tuesday for a meeting   
   related to the Salton Sea restoration, but has not announced any   
   plans to go to the Border Patrol station.   
      
   Rep. Ken Calvert, a Corona Republican who is opposing the Border   
   Patrol's plan, had toured the Murrieta station on Monday.   
      
   "Ultimately, the root cause of our crisis is President Obama's   
   failure to enforce our immigration laws. Immigrants illegally   
   entering the U.S. in (Texas) are literally walking up to CBP   
   officers looking to be detained, knowing that the current U.S.   
   policy is to simply release them. I am convinced that unless we   
   fundamentally change our approach, the crisis will only grow   
   larger."
