Immigrant Families Still Being Released Despite Zero-Tolerance Policy

MCALLEN – Many immigrants who are caught crossing the border illegally are still being released.

In May, Jeff Sessions announced the zero-tolerance policy, stating that those who are caught crossing illegally will be prosecuted.

The Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen is at the center of this activity.

KRGV’s Christian Von Preysing made a visit to the center to see why some have been spared.

Hi MW. Go to the link and there is a video for the story.

"Catch and Release" is still being used by ICE. ICE is continuing it despite directions from the Attorney General for zero tolerance.

Trump hasn't been able to end catch-and-release of illegals: Sessions

Illegal immigrants are still being caught and then quickly released after sneaking across the U.S.-Mexico border, Attorney General Jeff Sessions told lawmakers on Wednesday, saying it would likely take action by Congress to shut down the loopholes the migrants are using.

Known colloquially as catch-and-release, the practice of nabbing, processing then quickly releasing illegal immigrants has long been a black eye for border security.

The illegal immigrants caught then released are supposed to show up later to be deported, but instead disappear into the shadows along with the estimated 11 million other illegal immigrants.

“It’s not the policy, it’s just the reality,” Mr. Sessions told the Senate Judiciary Committee, confirming that catch-and-release is still going on despite GOP promises to end the practice.

“They’re being released into the community and they’re not coming back for their hearings,” he said.

Mr. Sessions said illegal immigrants have figured out how to exploit U.S. law by arriving in the country, then making claims of asylum that trigger a long process.

They outsmarted you and Kirsten. You should have listened to the President and kept them out of the country, not taken them in. That was completely stupid on your part, in my opinion.

Yep, and then they text their relatives how to get here...you stupid fools.

No asylum and no more warehousing them!

They haven't outsmarted anyone. This is being going on for awhile now. Unfortunately the Trump administration can only do what the law allows. It's a huge mistake to assume Jeff Session wants all of these immigrants pouring into our country. He is doing everything he can lawfully do to stop it. Of course I can't say the same for Nielsen. She is a known amnesty supporter and was poured from the same mold as amnesty supporter General Kelly.
