Sec. McAleenan: Migrant Families Will No Longer Be Released Into U.S.

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said today that migrant families arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border will no longer be released into the interior of the United States. “This is a vital step in restoring the rule of law and integrity to our immigration system,” he said.

The Trump Administration has powered ahead with several restrictive border policies in recent months and seen a sharp reduction in the number of migrants arrested by Border Patrol agents, a metric used to estimate illegal crossings. The reduction appears to have paved the way for the decision not to release families into the interior. President Donald Trump said last week that his administration soon would announce an end to “catch and release.”

During a question and answer session at the event today, McAleenan said DHS would employ two strategies to deal with arriving families.

One more step in the right direction.

NO ONE OTHER than Mr. Trump would have instigated decisions such as this.

Not a single other Republican.

Of course not. They hate it as much as the rats do.

The media will ignore the policy change, and very few will know it even happened.
