Border Patrol Agents are Being Sent to the Southern Border
Hundreds of Border Patrol agents from the northern border and coastal areas are being reassigned to assist with a surge at the southern border.
Customs and Border Protection says agents from the Houlton sector are among more than 300 border agents who are being temporarily redeployed.
Officials say both the number of families and unaccompanied children trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border is growing.
