| Migrant families being released without notices to appear in court |
| 2021-04-02 |
| [NY Post] US authorities have been releasing illegal immigrant families without notices to appear in immigration court amid an overwhelming record surge in border crossings. News of the new practice came last week, when Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) revealed that about 150 migrants were released in one weekend "without a notice to appear" in court. "How do you release somebody to the country without a notice to appear?" he asked on Fox News, noting that those released were family units, not adults or unaccompanied children. Releasing families swiftly eases the burden on the overcrowded facilities run by Customs and Border Protection, which has come under fire for holding children for longer than the legal 72-hour limit. Releasing the migrants does not solve the problem, however, instead shifting the brunt of the work involved in processing to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. |
