While family members believe the "homers" will remain in a detention center until their asylum cases are decided, Mehlman's view is different. He said each protester has been coached about the correct things to say to an immigration judge and that they will likely be temporarily released into the U.S.
"They'll be told to come back in a couple of months for their hearing," Mehlman said, "and when they don't return, nothing will happen."
