    US to relax border policy, stop detaining some migrant families to avoid overcrowding

    U.S. to relax border policy, stop detaining some migrant families to avoid overcrowding

    No room in facilities as record number of families cross southern border

    Reuters
    A family of migrants from Honduras crosses the Rio Grande toward the United States in February.


    The Trump administration plans to start pulling back on a key and controversial plank of U.S. immigration policy in a busy border region, saying Tuesday it will stop sending some migrant families who illegally cross the border in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley to jail.

    Starting this week, hundreds of families caught each day in that area are being released by Border Patrol agents, instead of being handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for potentially longer detention, government officials said.

    The exact number will depend on how many there is room for in ICE detention facilities, which have filled up as a record volume of families are crossing the border.


    The officials said they are making the change because of crowding and safety concerns. The conditions under which the federal government detains migrant families, particularly those with young children, have drawn frequent criticism in the past few years. Two migrant Guatemalan children died in Border Patrol custody in December.


    ICE’s three family detention centers can hold several thousand people at a time. Families with children can spend up to 20 days in them under current law. Under the new policy, some families will be processed by Border Patrol and then released and ordered to show up later to start their deportation or asylum cases. The policy change runs counter to President Trump’s repeated pledge to end what he called “catch-and-release” at the border in favor of “catch-and-detain.” But as the volume of families have reached record levels in the past several months, immigration authorities have struggled to make room for them all.


    An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.

    Yet, Trump said this-------But just to finish, when I was campaigning, I said I was going to do this, I was going to do that, I was going to do things. Now I’ve done them.”-------

    did not call him out on his lies, and about 9,000 Trump cheerleaders raised their pom poms and cheered him on.

    The invasion of our country is very scary, but even more scary to me is Trump and his cheerleaders and the way the so called Conservative media is either ignoring or cheering on what is happening.

    The invaders are a serious problem, but it will be Trump and his cheerleaders who finally take this country down.

    Trump administration to stop detaining some migrant families at border: report

    BY MICHAEL BURKE - 03/19/19 10:06 PM EDT

    The Trump administration will reportedly stop detaining some migrant families who illegally cross the border in Texas as it copes with overcrowding in detention facilities.

    The Wall Street Journal
    , citing government officials, said authorities will begin releasing hundreds of families caught each day in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, rather than referring the families to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for detention.


    Under current policy, families who cross the border are detained while they await court proceedings. Families typically get released after a maximum of 20 days, as families with children can't be detained for longer than that under federal law.


    According to the Journal, the exact number of families who will be immediately released will depend on the room available in detention facilities. Under the policy, the families who are released will first be processed by Border Patrol and, after they are released, they will be instructed to return for court proceedings.


    The policy would be at odds with President Trump's opposition to the practice called "catch and release," in which families who are detained after crossing the border are later released.

    Trump has often railed against the policy, including when he said last year that border agents "are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release."


    Trump last year also signed an order to end "catch and release," though the policy can't be ended by executive order and the practice has continued.


    Officials told the newspaper that crowding and safety concerns prompted them to make the change. The Journal noted that conditions at detention facilities has come under scrutiny in recent years. Multiple children have died in recent months in the custody of Border Patrol.


    Thousands of migrants have crossed the border near the Rio Grande Valley in recent months.

    Between the beginning of October and the end of February, more than 58,000 migrants have been arrested in the area for crossing the border illegally, according to the Journal.


    The influx of migrants has come as thousands of migrants have fled violence in Central America and sought asylum in the United States.

    We have large stadiums with bathrooms and showers.

    Our tax dollars pay for those stadiums.

    Let the military secure the perimeter.

    Process them, load them on a bus or barges and send them home.

    Wow, we're just sinking deeper into the abyss! Why is our U.S. Congress standing by twiddling their thumbs while this happens? Why is Trump allowing this to happen? This is just like throwing your arms up in surrender! This is not who we are or the country I spent over 20 years serving to defend! This is extremely inappropriate and cannot be allowed to stand as policy.

    How many more Central American families are going to come when they hear this?

    Stupid, stupid, stupid!
