The Biden administration is asking federal government employees to volunteer for up to 120 days to assist border officials with the surge of unaccompanied minors who have crossed the U.S. southern border illegally.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent a memo on March 25 to the heads of executive departments and agencies seeking temporary assistance to bolster staff resources at the border. This comes as a significant influx of illegal immigrants in recent weeks, in particular unaccompanied minors, have overwhelmed border facilities and resources.
