Mullin v. Al Otro Lado · ¶18

In the spring of 2016, U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began to experience a surge of aliens seeking admission at ports of entry along the U. S.-Mexico border. The number of aliens seeking to enter sometimes far exceeded the number CBP could properly process. Long delays slowed the inspection process, and, in the meantime, CBP sometimes ran short of chairs, meals, and beds. The resulting conditions were often unsafe for aliens, and they rendered border facilities unsecure.
