close Video Border chief vows to intensify immigration crackdowns as judge orders migrant release Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino joins ‘America Reports’ to discuss a federal judge’s order to release hundreds of migrants detained in Illinois during ‘Operation Midway Blitz.’ NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

ICE and DHS agents make an arrest.
