MCALLEN – More people in the country illegally are being released from immigration custody at the McAllen bus station.

A volunteer who works with immigrants says they processed more than 200 Tuesday.

The people are from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, for the most part.

They’re being released from federal immigration custody with orders to appear in immigration court at a later date.

The number of people after Christmas is significantly higher than the daily numbers volunteers are used to processing since the start of 2017.

One woman from Honduras says she came with two children and spent Christmas Day sleeping in a detention cell.

She says she doesn’t know why this wave is happening now; all she knows is gangs and threats against her children pushed her out of her country, forcing her to leave her home and business.

“In my case, I didn’t imagine coming here. Unfortunately, I had to. I didn’t think twice. I sold my business and used that money to come,” said Jesica Elena Sazo, who was released from detention.

For a small bus station, such as in McAllen, those numbers can take up a large part of the seating.

Yep, and the Trump administration promised us an end to Obama's catch & release policy!

Deportation hearings are the responsibility of the US Department of Justice c/o Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.

This is not a case where the immigration courts are playing catch & release, it's DHS (ICE, CBP, or whoever). It is the responsibility of DHS to hold these illegals until their cases are heard in immigration court.

When you're 650,000 deportation hearings behind in processing those arrested, then you might have a little detention space issue over at DHS. The clog is at DOJ. Why? Why is DOJ 650,000 hearings behind? Why are deportations down instead of up like the arrests are up? Besides under bond law, you can only hold them in detention for 90 days awaiting a hearing and the deportation process has a 2 year backlog. You have to release them if they post a bond. Courts have ruled on that already.

But if you want to continue barking up the wrong tree and blaming the wrong people, have at it.

Jeff Sessions to immigration courts: Work faster

The Trump administration has been trying to change the "culture" of how immigration lawyers handle immigration cases, by relying less on a tool used under the Obama administration to delay court decisions on whether to remove illegal immigrants.

Sessions listed five “core principles” that he said EOIR personnel should adhere to when adjudicating these cases. One of these is that “unwarranted delays and delayed decision making” do not serve “the national interest.”

Under former President Barack Obama, immigration attorneys would routinely push for an administrative closure, or a pause in the proceedings, before an immigration judge. That delay would leave cases for illegal immigrants in limbo.

A report released by the Center for Immigration Studies earlier this year said the Obama era used this procedure on 200,000 deportation cases over eight years.

Sessions also reminded all EOIR staff and officials that they are to apply immigration laws “as enacted, irrespective of our personal policy preferences.”

Another “core principle” is to promptly and lawfully resolve “meritless” cases or motions before the courts or the appeals board, as well as to follow EOIR’s “performance measures” when adjudicating cases.

Sessions also reminded EOIR officials that there is often fraud in the immigration court system, and that fraud can lead to “delays, inefficiencies and the improper provision of immigration benefits.” Fraud should be immediately documents and reported, Sessions wrote.

"With today’s memo, the Attorney General reaffirms his commitment to the rule of law and to the timely and proper adjudication of immigration court cases,” said EOIR Acting Director James McHenry in a statement Wednesday. “EOIR has already begun to see the effects of this commitment, and — with the same dedication from EOIR staff, attorneys, and judges — can further work toward realizing our goal of cutting the pending caseload in half by 2020.”

According to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, at Syracuse University, there are roughly 650,000 pending cases in the federal immigration court system. A majority of those are in California (120,000) and Texas (102,000).

Also Wednesday, the Justice Department released EOIR data on the first 10 months of the Trump administration. From Feb. 1 to Nov. 30, court orders of “removal” of an illegal immigration from the U.S. by the Department of Homeland Security were up 30 percent over the same time last year.

Roughly 87,000 people were ordered deported by immigration judges in that time span.

Immigration judges also ordered 100,000 illegal immigrants to leave the country voluntarily by a certain time, or risk being deported — a jump of 34 percent over the same time last year.

And nearly 128,000 final decisions were made immigration cases before an immigration judge during the 10 month period, the EOIR said. That's up 18,200 over the same time period last year.

I Missed My Immigration Court Hearing. ... If you miss your immigration court hearing, the judge will order you to be deported. This is called being removed in absentia. In other words, you cannot just assume that you can reschedule your immigration court hearing for another day.

When people are deported you want to give Trump all of the credit but when Trump fails to deport the masses of illegal aliens and criminal aliens you want to blame anyone and everyone but Trump.
If Trump gets the credit for all of the deported he also gets all of the blame for the ones he doesn't deport.

Correct! That is exactly right. And the reason for that is who is responsible. You believe in responsibility don't you JD2? You believe if it's your job to arrest illegal aliens and you don't arrest illegal aliens, then you are responsible for that failure, right? If it's your responsibility to issue the deportations orders for those who have been arrested and you don't do that, then you are responsible for that failure, right? Of course. You don't get to blame the President for the failures in DHS and DOJ. DHS has the same orders as DOJ, and DOJ has the same orders as DHS, arrest them and get them out of here, that is not only direct Executive Orders from this President issued in late January or early February of 2017, that is US LAW. The President doesn't conduct the arrests, BP and ICE agents do that. The President doesn't issue deportation orders, DOJ does that. So if the EO's and US Law aren't being enforced, whose failure is that? It's DHS and DOJ, not the President.

When they do their jobs and make the arrests and issue the deportation orders, then of course the President gets credit, because that is what he ordered with his Executive Orders on the issues and that is also US LAW.

All Trump can do in response to a failed DOJ is fire Jeff Sessions and get someone else who is more capable, or with a different personality, or something. I'm not ready for that, but Sessions needs to understand this failure to clear the decks is his responsibility. This is not a legal issue, this is a logistics issue.

If DOJ isn't capable of such logistics, then Trump needs to call for the repeal of the 2003 law that made deportations DOJ's responsibility and move it back to DHS where it belongs.

In fact, they need to amend the RAISE ACT, move deportation hearings and orders back to DHS and do it immediately.

You're absolutely right. For some folks, Trump can do no wrong and shouldn't be held responsible or accountable ..... blame must be shifted elsewhere. IMO, the buck stops with Trump. He is the ultimate decider. With that said though, the laws and funding all come out of the U.S. Congress.
