Protesters block buses carrying illegal immigrants to Murrieta Border Patrol station; Updated

Protesters today blocked buses carrying around 300 illegal immigrants from entering the Murrieta Border Patrol station in California.

The Desert Sun reports that “additional flights will arrive every three days as the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol tries to address the overcrowded facilities in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, which has seen an unprecedented spike in illegal crossings since October.” Photos leaked earlier this month showed the overcrowded conditions at the Texas facility, and the DHS dropped off hundreds of illegals at a Phoenix, Ariz., Greyhound station.
