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.

#1  Did they check to make sure none of the family members or their relations are connected to narco-gangs? None of the smugglers who moved them along the way were connected, they made no promises of indentured servitude to pay off their transportation fees once they arrived in America to anyone connected? Because if any of the migrant families they set free in the interior of the country are, this becomes a War on Terror: narco-terrorism problem, even excluding all those coming from countries where jihadis are popular in certain circles.
