BREAKING: CBP reports 188,829 encounters with migrants at our Southwest border during the month of June, another increase over May’s 20 year high record number of 180,034.

VP Kamala Harris touted “extreme progress” at the border last month.

901,413 total thru June. @FoxNews
There is no way to spin these numbers. This is not seasonal migration. It’s not slowing down in the extreme heat like it normally does, it is only getting worse. We’ve now had 3 straight months over 170,000 apprehensions.
And when Title 42 goes away, expect an even bigger jump.
👇🏻
This CBP chart shows the trends for Biden’s 2021 border surge (blue) vs Trump’s 2019 border surge (orange).

Trump’s numbers fell off a cliff after May 2019. Biden’s are continuing to surge up after May 2021.

NEW: We just arrived in La Joya, TX this morning, and as usual, we are witnessing several groups of migrants crossing into the U.S. They are all walking around the incomplete border wall about a half mile away from us. This group told me they are from Honduras. @FoxNews
Another group of migrants has now crossed over. There is only one Border Patrol pickup truck here. Resources stretched very thin in the Rio Grande Valley. Thunderstorms and flooding aren’t slowing anything down out here. @FoxNews
Massive groups of migrants being apprehended every single morning here in La Joya, TX. This large group is waiting to be placed on a Border Patrol bus, which is already mostly full. @FoxNews

Back on the ground in the Rio Grande Valley. Within minutes of arriving on location in La Joya, TX, dozens of migrants emerging from the brush all along a road and giving themselves up to Border Patrol. Mostly teens and families.
The woman tells me she is from El Salvador. Several children with them.
We saw these women with an infant and child searching for Border Patrol early in the morning. They were safely apprehended.

NEW: "You're always gonna be a Mexican, you'll never be white, you know that?"
A Latino LASD deputy sent me his bodycam video of a woman claiming to be a teacher launching into a racist tirade against him when he pulled her over in San Dimas. She repeatedly calls him a murderer.
LASD tells me the woman called them after this traffic stop to file a harassment complaint against the deputy with internal affairs.
San Dimas station doesn't have official bodycams yet, the deputy tells me he invested in his own personal cam to protect himself on the job.
LASD also tells me the woman has a history of making false complaints against deputies.
I've learned what her name is, and she has been a professor at schools in the LA area, but at this time, I will not be identifying her because she has not returned any of my calls or emails.

BREAKING: The city of Pico Rivera just approved a vote of no confidence in L.A. County District Attorney #GeorgeGascon's special directives. The cities of Santa Clarita and Beverly Hills previously approved votes of no confidence in DA Gascon. La Mirada is considering one. @FOXLA
Pico Rivera city councilman Andrew Lara, who says he has no confidence in Gascon's policies, said this vote cannot be painted as the doing of "white Republicans" like Santa Clarita or Beverly Hills. He says he is a Democrat, and he has to put policy before party here. @FOXLA
A representative from Gascon's administration spoke live at the city council meeting and said that Gascon's policies are meant to "advance public safety, equity, victim's services, and strengthen police accountability."
@LACoSheriff spoke and slammed Gascon's policies. @FOXLA
