   A U.S. Border Patrol plan to fly detained migrants from Texas to   
   California has been set back in motion after officials scrapped   
   it last weekend.   
      
   The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is again preparing to fly   
   adults with children from the Rio Grande Valley to San Diego and   
   El Centro, according to a release from CBP officials.   
      
   Others will be transferred to Laredo and El Paso in Texas in an   
   effort to relieve congestion in the south Texas sectors.   
      
   When news of the prospective transfer broke last week, Border   
   Patrol officials soon backed off their plan after swift public   
   push back.   
      
   But Friday, CBP’s Media Division Director Michael Friel   
   announced the transfer had been reinstated. However, he did not   
   include a timeline, the number of migrants coming to California   
   or where they will be placed.   
      
   Once they have arrived, agents will process the apprehended   
   families for removal and turn them over to Immigration and   
   Customs Enforcement officials, who will decide on a case-by-case   
   basis if they will remain in custody, be deported or be released.   
      
   Friel’s statement said transfers between Border Patrol sectors   
   happen regularly to help the CBP manage its processing flow.   
      
   Border Patrol agents have seen an overwhelming influx of   
   migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border at Texas’ Rio Grande   
   Valley.   
      
   Since Oct. 1, agents have arrested more than 174,000 migrants   
   from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, The Associated Press   
   reported.   
      
   The federal agency is also searching for places to board about   
   50,000 unaccompanied minors who have inundated the border. As   
   many as 700 of those children were apprehended by San Diego   
   Border Patrol agents.   
      
   In response to that crisis, the federal government has launched   
   a coordination group to leverage resources in the Departments of   
   Defense, Justice, Health and Human Services, State and the   
   General Services Administration.
