Smith called for backup from Immigration Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Border Patrol to take custody of the "undocumented aliens," but both departments refused, "due to the President's orders/policies" his statement said.
Smith was likely referring to a series of orders and recommendations from President Joe Biden's administration regarding policies and priorities for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security. These guidelines generally prioritize engaging with undocumented individuals suspected of terrorism, or those who are convicted violent felons.
"I told the [ICE] Agent that the illegal aliens would be released at the scene to walk off the highway and how that would look," Smith wrote. "The agent said if we found any of the persons were aggravated felons they would come out and get them."
Biden is responsible for the border crisis, 100%.
