What is the Border Patrol doing in an evacuation zone?

We have witnessed the presence of the Border Patrol in Fallbrook during a brief visit we made earlier today. We witnessed them entering into Mexican neighborhoods and we believe there is absolutely no reason for the Border Patrol to be present in this time of crisis. Their presence in fact discourage people who may be in need to seek aid.

Although most people have evacuated, many still remain either to defend their homes, or to simply keep working. Unfortunately many businesses still remain open, despite the evacuation order, subjecting their workers to unhealthy breathing conditions.

Furthermore, the fact that Fallbrook is under evacuation and little to no media have been present to cover the critical situation Fallbrook faces, leads us to further question the presence of the Border Patrol in this area. They simply are not needed nor wanted.

Please call or email the following to demand that the Border Patrol leave Fallbrook immediately! We need support and respect in this time of crisis, not more terror!
