This policy change, which goes against AG Sessions Zero-Tolerance Policy makes all the sense in the world because the family separation program has been halted…..
People are still crossing the border…
The numbers are NOT gonna work to catch up…
I’m guessing that as soon as some Trump political person in the Dept. of Justice got wind of the border cops over in Homeland Security going back to ‘catch and release’ they had a hemorrhage and instructed someone to say the policy hasn’t been changed…
Someone is using their brains on this…
Others are just trying to play POLITICAL GAMES….
The U.S. government will no longer file criminal charges against parents who cross the border illegally, a senior U.S. Customs official told the Washington Post.
“The dramatic about-face comes just one day after President Trump signed an executive order ending his administration’s widely denounced practice of separating families apprehended at the Mexico border.”
“Trump’s order said the government would maintain a ‘zero tolerance’ policy toward those who break the law, but a senior U.S. official, when asked to explain how the federal government would change enforcement practices, told The Washington Post that Border Patrol agents have been instructed to stop sending parents with children to federal courthouses for prosecution.”

If these reports are correct?
It seems that the DHS and DOJ are actually fighting each other?
