DOJ handles all hearings on releases, their immigration courts are the ones who order the release not ICE, not DHS. DHS ERO removes them from the country AFTER DOJ courts issue a deportation order.

You can't learn the complexities of this process through news articles, the reporters don't go into the details, they report the interesting stuff in a way to make a story.

ICE is part of DHS. Geez, you're having a difficult time remembering what you're saying from one post to the next!

Yes, because Catch and Release by DHS, did end early last year. The catch and release that didn't end is the releases by DOJ that DHS has nothing to do with. Trump's EO only addressed what could legally be ended, that is the releases by Border Patrol, not DOJ. I mean if you want to keep going on about this, it just makes Sessions look bad, because it's his department that is still catching and releasing because that's the law and will be until Congress changes it.

I'm not talking about Sessions or DOJ, I'm talking about border patrol and ICE, which are both components of DHS! You clearly said DHS was not practicing catch & release. You are wrong!
