A program along the border in parts of Texas and Arizona to haul illegal immigrants off to jail instead of shipping them home has overwhelmed the U.S. Marshals Service.
The 600 marshals stationed on the border with Mexico are dealing with as many as 6,000 new defendants a month. That’s taking them away from other tasks such as capturing escaped prisoners and rounding up sex offenders, according to Justice Department documents.
David Gonzales, the head marshal in Arizona, said “Operation Streamline” shows how a well-intentioned program to crack down on illegal immigrants can be undermined by inadequate funding and the strain it places on all layers of the criminal justice system.”*
