The acting Homeland Security secretary gave lawmakers a glimpse Tuesday into just how many asylum seekers skip their hearings after being released into the United States -- telling a Senate panel that a recent program found 90 percent miss their court dates.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan how many asylum seekers coming across the southern border show up for their hearings.
“It depends on demographic, the court, but we see too many cases where people are not showing up,” he said, telling Graham that DHS recently conducted a pilot program with family units.
“Out of those 7,000 cases, 90 received final orders of removal in absentia, 90 percent,” he said.
“90 percent did not show up?” Graham asked.
“Correct, that is a recent sample from families crossing the border,” McAleenan clarified.
McAleenan’s testimony also painted a grim portrait of a border crisis that shows no signs of easing, with Border Patrol overwhelmed and underfunded. The secretary described authorities as hamstrung by laws that limit how long they can keep migrants in custody.
“Currently due to a single district court order, we cannot obtain effective immigration enforcement results for the families arriving at our border -- they cannot be held for longer than 21 days and do not receive rulings from immigration courts for years,” he said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that it encountered 144,000 migrants at the border in May, a level not seen in decades, describing the situation as a “full-blown emergency.” McAleenan said that 60,000 children have entered into DHS custody in just the last 40 days.

They’re not ‘missing’ anything. Maybe, some go to the nearest Mexican consulate with some bogus identification and get a bogus Consular card and disappear. Then, if they actually work and try to be somewhat legit(as in show a SS card), they get a stolen number and apply under someone else’s name, again.
Does any Freeper know if illegal aliens being granted bond are required to submit DNA and finger prints?
Just like any other court case...why don’t they require a $1000 appearance bond in lieu of deportation?
The only solution Bush League Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty will even consider is amnesty.
Can’t the Administration ask for an ex parte hearing in the Supreme Court to review the District Court’s hold?

Startling? to whom?
depends on the charge. Felonies, i highly doubt it, but anything is possible. Misdemeanors, of course.
As for DNA, not every agency or facility will do DNA, on the county level. They will, however, get DNA from them if they’re sentenced to a State prison. They will print, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot.
Huh?

Bounty hunters needed. At a $500 a head, we could save billions on schools and emergency rooms alone, and raiding just one over-crowded illegal dorm house would be a good month’s pay.
Oh but they are having hearings. They are investigating. They have TOP men working on the problem. TOP men.
Worthless bastards.
That's almost a one adult-one child ratio.
Almost like bringing a child is the price of admission.
Almost like human trafficking of children were going on in at least some cases.
Gosh! Who knew????
You’re dead on the mark while the Rats and deep state ignore it by saying there is no crisis.
Heck, I’d buy a box of swabs & media tubes to donate.
I tried to watch his testimony but I had to keep muting the so-called Senators. He has a great poker face and infinite patience; I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to hide my disdain.
I hope he’s nominated as the permanent Secretary.
They violate our laws and then expected to obey them by coming to court so they can be deported??
