Border Patrol memo tells agents in key sector to release migrants from nearly all Eastern Hemisphere countries
Story by Stepheny Price, Bill Melugin, Griff Jenkins • 12h •
An internal Border Patrol memo, obtained by Fox News, instructs agents in the San Diego sector to release single adults from all but six countries in the Eastern Hemisphere and classify them as "hard" or "very hard" to remove.
The memo was sent out after President Biden's executive order banning asylum for most illegal immigrants took effect last week.
Biden announced the order on Tuesday and said he was "moving past Republican obstruction and using executive authorities available to me as president to do what I can on my own to address the border."
Details in the memo, first reported by the Washington Examiner's Anna Giaritelli, instructs agents that all single adults from the Eastern Hemisphere are to be processed via "NTA/OR," which means Notice to Appear/released on Own Recognizance, except for migrants from Russia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan – which are "mandatory referral" countries.
