Articles re the ending of “Catch and Release” are plentiful and relate to two actions by President Trump to end the program. This one is from APril 2019.

Now that's something we can both agree on!
Re: This article is from April 2019.
Whoops - your link is from April 2018.
17 months (!) later, on 19 September 2019, this is what Trump was saying:
“There will be no more catch and release,” Trump told reporters Wednesday aboard Air Force One. “We won’t have catch within two weeks. We’ll be free of catch and release, releasing people.”
Face it, Dude - Trump is a pathological liar on the immigration issue.
Also - Trump's promise to send asylum seekers to a “third” country is a total scam.
The only reason people apply for asylum is because they can get welfare benefits and job permits while their case is being litigated.
More than 90% of asylum cases are rejected.
Bottom Line - if Trump starts sending asylees to a third country, NO ONE is going to apply for asylum.
They will just demand their day in court and get Catch and Release.
