Trump signs memo ordering end to 'catch and release' practices
By Jesse Byrnes - 04/06/18 07:32 PM EDT
President Trump signed a memorandum on Friday ordering agencies to "expeditiously end" the practice critics call "catch and release" that allows immigrants caught in the U.S. without proper documents to be released while their immigration cases play out in courts.
The memo signed by Trump orders the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with other agencies, to submit a report to the president within 45 days "detailing all measures that their respective departments have pursued or are pursuing to expeditiously end 'catch and release' practices."
The report instructs departments to share information on any contracts to construct or operate detention facilities along the border as well as steps taken to assign asylum officers at detention facilities, among other measures.
As part of the order, Trump is requesting "a detailed list of all existing facilities, including military facilities, that could be used, modified, or repurposed to detain aliens for violations of immigration law at or near the borders of the United States."
Trump has also directed Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to identify any other resources or steps "that may be needed to expeditiously end 'catch and release' practices."

‘bout time!
Go President Trump!!!
Woo hoo!!!
Lets see, I imagine 2 Hawaiian judges, 2 California judges, and one from Massachusetts to block his memo....
Does this mean end now and report ended within 45 days or does it mean to study it and report how to end in 45 days?
Full on American Nationalism!
Put Sheriff Arpaio in charge of constructing the detention facilities. He had extensive experience in Arizona.
Which would you prefer?
He’s mocking the left while taking a subtle swipe at the judiciary reminding them that this was never a law or a product of a law. Remember this happening well after the Court appeal ordering the POTUS to not stop DACA.
Yes, Joe would be a natural to loop in on this. He also has the info on where to obtain large quantities of pink prison uniforms.
Heck Yeah!!!
I actually didn’t think my first response through...
By Monday: 2 California Judges block this move, 2 Hawaiian judges block this memo, 1 Massachusetts judge places an injunction, 1 New York judge rules it unconstitutional.
3 Governors sue the administration.
Eric Holder sues the administration.
Clapper goes on CNN to tell the world how Trump should be in jail.
Juan Williams says “he has no authority”
“Vegetable McCain” releases a statement through his “staff”
Linda Graham says this is “unprecedented”
Michelle Obama compares this to “giving your kids junk food”
I hope I covered the news cycle for the weekend...
And boloney sandwhiches!
Thank You President Trump!
I will vote for you again, and again.
Best news I’ve read in a long time!
NO MORE CATCH and RELEASE!
:)
I’d prefer he declares a state of emergency and orders the national guard to help transport all illegal aliens out of the US. Tells border patrol to deputize as many soldiers as they need to help them round up and remove illegal aliens.
But that wasn’t in your either-or question.
Which is your preference? It was an either-or question of yours.
The weekend is off to a great start! End of Catch-and-Release, an illegal alien reporter being deported, a congressman pulling out a concealed weapon at constituent meeting to show the gun is safe and not evil...
