Nearly 600,000 migrants who crossed the border since March 2021 were released in the U.S. with no immigration court dates

Nearly 600,000 migrants who crossed the U.S. border since March 2021 have been released into the U.S. without being charged or given a date to appear in court, according to data obtained by NBC News, and thousands have even been dropped from the program that was supposed to track them.

The practice, born of necessity as border-crossing numbers soared past previous records, was a break from the protocol of prior administrations, which required migrants to be given charging documents with a court date by Customs and Border Protection shortly after they were apprehended.

The lack of charging documents has left migrants across the country in legal limbo without a court date to determine whether they can legally stay in the U.S., their lawyers said. Many live in the shadows, unable to work and unaware that they are passing their one-year eligibility deadline to apply for asylum.

Immigration lawyers say many clients walk into their offices confused and wondering what the next step should be in the quest for legal residence.

Much of the criticism of Biden’s border policies from both Republicans and Democrats has been focused on migrants as they cross the southern border, but less attention has been paid to how the administration is handling migrants after they cross, a window of time in which the court system is supposed to determine whether or not they can remain legally.

What about the other 5 MILLION, were they given court dates that they’ll never show up for?

On October 22, 2021 my wife and I were on I-70 in Missouri and there were westbound charter buses as far as the eye could see in either direction.

We stopped at one of the towns and there were a lot of buses taking rest stops.

They were full of “migrants.”

Wish I had taken a few pictures, but I was too enraged to think of it.

I wonder how long before these people start dictating to us or starting with the violence? It’s only a matter of them realizing that they can. And they will realize it because they know for a fact that we as a nation have no self respect. That ALWAYS breeds contempt. ALWAYS.

Setting court dates is just to keep people on the payrolls doing the job....means nothing.

Dintcha just love the word, “migrants.” As if they migrated to the US through a vetting and legal immigration process.

The twilight of the Roman Empire all over again. Once the barbarian peoples were allowed to settle in its territory unchecked, the end was a matter of time.

Turning the U.S. into what CA has become. Run by, and for, liberals, socialists and the Democrat party.

That’s the reason for all this.

As if it mattered if they got one? There have been millions let in under the child snoffer and only 500 immigration judges. They are here to stay and “fundamentally transform” the IS in to just another third world s hole.
