What’s happening on the border right now? Border Patrol is not deporting people through the port here in Douglas/Agua Prieta. What is happening to the increasing number of people, especially Mexicans, who are being detained in the US? But just because Mexicans are not coming to the border looking for asylum, it does not mean that they are no longer in danger. Right now, there are anecdotal reports of more Border Patrol apprehensions here in this area.
