We have called repeatedly on the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a plan to ensure that we can detain these individuals until their time for removal. It has yet to come to us. One very worthwhile program is called "expedited removal." The chief of the Border Patrol. David Aguilar. testified before my Terrorism Subcommittee recently that it is their intention and hope to begin to expand this expedited removal program to all of the Border Patrol sectors on the southern and southwestern border. There are 20some sectors. but only two have expedited removal today. the Laredo. TX and Tucson.
