The head of the Border Patrol union says that drug cartels will seize “complete control” of the southern border once a Trump-era public health order to expel illegal immigrants is allowed to expire on May 23.

When asked by Fox News anchor Dana Perino about the “worst-case scenario” that could arise once the health order ends, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd said it would be “that we just don’t have anybody in the field, that we just can’t patrol the border.”
