| Border Patrol in Rio Grande Valley considering releasing illegal crossers into US without court date |
| 2021-03-23 |
| [Fox News] Fox News has learned from a senior source with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that a plan is under consideration for Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) to begin releasing illegal border crossers who claim asylum without issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) - meaning they will depart custody without a court date. Such a decision would be unprecedented if enacted and would place the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants through Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or legal assistance. The source says the reasoning for the decision is that the situation has "become so dire that BP [Border Patrol] has no choice but to release people nearly immediately after apprehension because there is no space to hold people even to do necessary NTA paperwork." The process of issuing each migrant an NTA can take hours per individual or family. This would not apply to unaccompanied minors. The RGV, based in Texas, is ground zero for the surge in border crossings and is more than 700% overcapacity. CBP announced it had encountered more than 100,000 migrants at the border in February, while numbers of child migrants in custody have also increased dramatically. The Biden administration has been moving to increase capacity of facilities to house migrants, and building a number of extra facilities — including looking at NASA sites and military bases. On Friday, The Washington Post reported that the Biden administration is considering flying migrants to states near the Canadian border for processing. |
