The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is planning to send hundreds of employees to the southern border to assist in managing the large influx of Central American migrants entering the U.S, according to an email obtained by CNN.

The TSA plans to send 175 law enforcement agents and as many as 400 “Security Ops” agents to the southern border to work alongside Customs and Border Protection officers as acting immigration officers, according to the email.

The TSA workers will be tasked with temporarily helping with immigration-related procedures including “meal preparation, property management, and legal assistance to process the thousands of asylum claims being made each month,” USA Today reported Wednesday.

Officials say that the deployment may include air marshals, who fly aboard airplanes to prevent terrorist attacks, as well as Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams, who patrol crowded areas like airports looking for suspicious activity. The source details that the deployment would detract about 8% of federal air marshals to the border and about 20% of VIPR teams.

The first law enforcement teams for the deployment will be drawn from just six cities, according to another source, CNN reported.

The new measures comes following a decisive uptick in illegal immigration, as the number of illegal border crossings reaches a 10-year-high.
