The national chief of the U.S. Border Patrol says allegations made last week by Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever that Border Patrol agents are being instructed not to arrest all illegal border crossers to keep apprehension numbers down are 100-percent false.
In a letter dated Monday, Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher wrote that he read Dever's comments to Fox News with "enormous disappointment and concern."

"That it comes from a fellow law enforcement official makes it especially offensive."
