Homeland Security officials forced to resume catch-and-release policy for illegal immigrants

Homeland Security is preparing to release dozens of immigrant parents from custody this week in order to reunite them with their young children, blaming a judge’s deadline for forcing them to reimpose the catch-and-release policy the Trump administration was trying to end.

Government lawyers went to court last week to suggest they wouldn’t be able to meet the strict deadlines and go through all of the checks they usually do to make sure they’re releasing children to safe situations.

“There’s always going to be a tension between a faster release and a safe release,” said Sarah B. Fabian, a Justice Department lawyer.

But Judge Dana Sabraw refused to grant an extension on the deadline, saying his goal is to get as many families reunited as quickly as possible, and he wants the government to feel the pressure to do that.

He has set a deadline of Wednesday for children under five who were separated by immigration authorities at the border to be reunited with their parents.

At the very least, can they have a tag snapped in behind their ear?

So release them, into a small area of the US located right on the border of Mexico. It should be fenced on 3 sides and open on the side facing Mexico. Then, they are released into the US, and they can wait in this partially fenced area while awaiting the resolution of their case.

If they want food, water, etc. they’ll need to leave that area, and return to Mexico. Thus, they will have left the US voluntarily, and their legal case is then moot.

Release them into Mexico. With the children. Let the authorities there figure out if they are really the parents or not.

...and an innocent American has a death sentence that will be due to these POS illegals committing more crime. I forgot, it’s all about the children. I hate liberals.

They are ILLEGAL alien parents, Stephen Dinan, NOT “immigrant” parents.

Boot them out of the country with their illegal alien kids, or tell the “judge” to screw.
