SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Border Patrol arrested Gerardo Henao 14 hours after President Joe Biden suspended asylum processing at the U.S. border with Mexico this week. But instead of being summarily deported, he was dropped off by agents the next day at a San Diego bus stop, where he caught a train to the airport for a flight to Newark, New Jersey.
Henao, who said he left his jewelry business in Medellin, Colombia, because of constant extortion attempts, had one thing working in his favor: a scarcity of deportation flights to that country. Lack of resources, diplomatic limitations and logistical hurdles make it difficult for the Biden administration to impose its sweeping measure on a large scale.
The policy, which took effect Wednesday, has an exception for “operational considerations,” official language acknowledging the government lacks the money and authority to deport everyone subject to the measure, especially people from countries in South America, Asia, Africa and Europe who didn’t start showing up at the border until recently.
“It was nothing,” Henao said at a San Diego transit center, where the Border Patrol dropped off four busloads of migrants in a four-hour span Thursday afternoon. “They took my photo, my fingerprints and that was it.”
Many migrants released that day were from China, India, Colombia and Ecuador. One group included men from Mauritania, Sudan and Ethiopia.
“Hello, if you are arriving right now, you have been released from immigration custody and you can go to the airport,” a volunteer with a bullhorn told the migrants, directing them to a light-rail platform across the parking lot. “You can go for free if you don’t have money for a taxi or an Uber.”

Figures ..
Some nationalities escape Biden’s sweeping asylum ban because deportation flights are scarce

It’s simple. We send them to 3rd countries where they can then make their way back. The 3rd companies do business with us. Tariffs are an offer they can’r refuse as our requests are a drop in the bucket money-wise.
Columbia? Come on. The Tijuana airport has a check-in spot on our side of the border. Holding centers all over.
The jeweler can learn to code.
Trump should start giving the border patrol orders on Nov. 6th. Tell them not to listen to their bosses. Dare Biden to stop him.
I’d say those sent back are those most likely to lean Republican. That’s why Obama was so fierce on the Cuban refugees.
I hope this gets back to Trump: “Trump should start giving the border patrol orders on Nov. 6th. Tell them not to listen to their bosses. Dare Biden to stop him.”
Why is the head of “immigration” arrested???
How many people can fit into a C-5M Super Galaxy?
Dump them back in Mexico. Mexico apparently has no problem with them being there.
I’ve heard Epstein’s island isn’t being used right now...
And they can’t CHARTER a flight?
Why do we have to fly them anywhere? Put them on a bus to the border and send them across. Hasta la vista. And if you come back your native country will pay massive tarrifs to the US taxpayers national debt.

Why don’t we militarize the border?
Rhetorical.
They want Whitey replaced by the 3rd World.
