The Catch and Release program that Trump ended is the Catch and Release Border Policy on the border or within close proximity of the border. There is another release policy for the interior that is determined by the immigration courts who set bonds and so forth pending a Deportation Hearing. It's very understandable that it's confusing. Here's the contents of the EO that addressed border agents "Catch and Release".

President Donald Trump announced two executive orders he signed Wednesday, pledging in a speech at the Department of Homeland Security that his national security agency will save lives and enforce laws.
“For too long your office’s agents haven’t been allowed to properly do their jobs,” Trump said. “You know that, right? Do you know that? Absolutely. But that’s all about to change.”
The key components of the executive orders that Trump maintained “will save thousands of lives, millions of jobs and billions and billions of dollars” call for:
Securing the southern U.S. border “through immediate construction of a physical wall” to stop illegal immigration, the flow of drugs, human trafficking and acts of terrorism
Detaining “individuals apprehended on suspicions of” law breaking and expedition of claims of their eligibility to stay in the U.S.
Swift deportation of “individuals whose legal claims to remain in the United States have been lawfully rejected”
DHS Secretary John Kelly to “take all appropriate steps to immediately plan, design and construct” the wall
Projections for “long-term funding requirements,” including the preparation of congressional budget requests for current and future fiscal years
Completion of a “comprehensive study” of the southern border’s security to completed within the next 180 days
Construction and operation of detention facilities at or near the border
Termination of the catch-and-release border policy, a directive to Border Patrol agents not to arrest and deport illegal immigrants
Repatriation of immigrants who have been deported
The hiring of 5,000 Border Patrol officers and the tripling of the number of ICE officers
A report of “Federal aid or assistance” to the Mexican government over the past five years to be completed within 30 days
Termination of “the abuse of parole and asylum provisions currently used to prevent the lawful removal of removable aliens”
A public monthly report “on aliens apprehended at or near the southern border”
Crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities, locales that don’t prosecute immigrants for living in the country illegally
Denial of federal funds to “jurisdictions that fail to comply with” federal law, unless deemed necessary
“Prompt removal” of immigrants who have been ordered to leave the country
A DHS office whose aim is to support “victims of crime committed by removable aliens and the family members of such victims”
