Rodney Scott, chief of the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector, has said those arrested for illegal entry included 27 men, with the rest being women and children. As frustrations began to mount over the long wait, migrants marched to the border Sunday to appeal for the U.S. to speed things up. The other adults were not prosecuted because Customs and Border Protection didn’t have enough information to pursue charges, including the name of the arresting officers, according to the official, who said it was an extremely chaotic scene. Customs and Border Protection declined to discuss why charges weren’t filed but said they still may be subject to deportation. “Depending on their country of citizenship and their case’s final disposition, the Border Patrol may turn those people over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” said spokesman Ralph DeSio.
