The current crisis unfolding at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport continues to deepen as new actors are exposed.
According to a new exposé from investigative journalist James O’Keefe, a secretive migrant ‘detention’ center run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is responsible for bussing illegal migrants into the busy Pheonix airport.
O’Keefe claims that the IRC is essentially getting money from the federal government to otherwise legitimize illegal immigrants as refugees. Of course, no one at the center is truly a refugee or seeking asylum.
When O’Keefe and his team approached the detention center in question they were allegedly offered a bribe by one of the employees of the center to stay away. O’Keefe reports:
“SECRET MIGRANT CENTER EXPOSED PART 1: “I’LL PAY YOU GUYS.” Phoenix Migrant ‘Refugee’ Facility worker caught on tape trying to bribe journalist.
[The] video shows [a] facility run by [the] International Rescue Committee bussing thousands of migrant “refugees” every hour on the hour to Phoenix Sky Harbor airport.
Migrants tell us they crossed border illegally, as IRC given $415 million from Feds to give the pretense of Refugee status and fly them on flights out of Terminal 3 and 4. Tomas Robles, an IRC staffer, called us “domestic terrorists” and reported us to the police for asking questions.
Sources and insiders gave us the information that brought us what you see in this video.

Tomas – looking for clarification on the employment status of your colleague Jesus, who offered us a bribe on video to make us go away from 1211 East Apache – where buses depart every hour to Terminal 4.
IRC said they’re working with authorities. Can you clarify? @TomasRobles14 https://t.co/MD5iETg7an

Fox 10 Phoenix provided local coverage of the crisis currently unfolding at Phoenix Sky Harbor:
Many that arrived on Thursday spoke Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.
Staff said it can be stressful, especially when there’s a language barrier.
If migrants cannot get a flight to friends of family, organizations like the International Rescue Committee can pick them up and provide resources.
Previously James O’Keefe talked to one driver who confirmed that he was dropping off migrants at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport several times per day.

Daily Mail explained:
Hobbs asked President Joe Biden’s administration a week ago to mobilize 243 Arizona National Guard troops already in the Border Patrol’s Tucson sector that includes Lukeville, Arizona, to help federal officers reopen the border crossing that was indefinitely closed on December 4.
