EXCLUSIVE: Despite southern border crisis, CBP agents asked to deploy to Europe for Ukraine conflict

Biden administration imposes second effort in year to divert border agents overseas. Last year, it was for Afghanistan.

For the second time in a year, the Biden administration is seeking to divert Customs and Border Protection officers from the southern border crisis to an overseas conflict, this time to help process people fleeing the Russian assault on Ukraine.

In a memo sent Thursday morning and obtained by Just the News, CBP's office of field operations sought volunteers willing to deploy immediately to Poland for "Operation Ukraine Support."

The request comes six months after a similar effort to process Afghan refugees after the bungled U.S. exit from that country. That operation was sharply criticized Friday by the Pentagon inspector general for poor Defense Department vetting that allowed 50 Afghans posing serious security risks to enter the United States.

"The Office of Field Operations is seeking volunteers to assist with the possible evacuation of U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and their immediate family members from Ukraine," the memo sent to field operations executives said.

"Eligible employees who volunteer for this situation may be selected to serve a temporary duty assignment in Poland to facilitate travelers for entry into the U.S., to include providing guidance and problems resolution to other government agencies."

The memo said volunteers need to be ready to deploy "within 2-3 days" of selection and should plan for about a month's work overseas. It also offered a plan for COVID-19 mitigation that said workers need to either have the vaccine or natural immunity from a recent infection.

"As a mission necessity and to avoid post-arrival quarantine, volunteers must be able to provide a negative PCR test taken within 24 hours of arrival and meet one of the following conditions: fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccination" or "recovered from COVID-19 within six months prior to arrival."

"Once deployed employees are expected to perform all assigned duties and may be required to work irregular shifts and schedules, up to seven days per week including holidays and weekends," the memo cautioned, offering volunteers overtime pay.

Ukraine’s sovereign borders are more sovereign than our sovereign borders.

I don’t know, they may have more there the way their hands are tied here.

Not jurisdiction, but you catch my drift.

Great overtime pay..., not doing s**t along our border anyway..., win-win decision for agents who know they have become useless drones under Biden!

The administration policy is catch and release, with a free plane ride into the interior. So this cattle call won’t make a difference. You know how Soros prosecutors release criminals arrested for crimes? Biden is releasing border jumpers apprehended by CBP. It’s as if CBP didn’t exist. They could be sunning themselves at the beach, for all the difference it makes. Might as well send them to Poland for R&R. Too bad we can’t send the border jumpers there instead.

(2nd post of this but pertinent)

This is one more insult to our Border Patrol who have already been reduced to taxpayer-funded Uber and travel agents for the illegal aliens, gangers, terrorists and cartel thugs they're supposed to keep out. One more item on the ever-growing list of reasons to impeach - though Brandon and his traitorous puppeteers really need to be perpwalked to criminal court sweating with fear of real execution.

But I'm an optimist.
