There still IS a backlog in processing….
But it appears that hundred’s will wait to be able process their entre so they wouldn’t be deported if they are stopped in the country…
BTW?
People in the custody of the Feds MUST be given court dates…..
If there is a overflow of people?
They ARE released into America with acourt date that maybe anyplace and out more than a year…
But once in the system?
They will NOT be deported before the court date……
DHS , The Biden admin and President Biden can breath on this after being beaten down by Right leaning Media and politicians…
Despite warnings about a potential surge in migrants that sent thousands of federal personnel to the southern US border, officials said the days after the expiration of a Covid-related border restriction policy known as Title 42 saw fewer migrants arriving at the border than initially expected.
Ahead of the policy’s expiration, long lines formed at checkpoints and makeshift encampments proliferated in border communities.
But US authorities saw a 50% drop in the number of migrant encounters along the border over the previous two days compared to earlier in the week – before Title 42 ended – Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday. US and Mexican officials say the Biden administration’s warnings to asylum seekers and displays of immigration enforcement have deterred more migrants from crossing the border illegally.
The situation at the border is “very fluid,” a senior Homeland Security official told reporters Monday.
“The decreased level of encounters at the border, we hope reflect both an appreciation of the new consequences that are in place for unlawful entry at the border as well as the enforcement actions being taken by our foreign partners,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Border and Immigration Policy Blas Nuñez-Neto said during a Monday briefing, noting that it is too early to draw firm conclusions.
The US has deported thousands of people, including more than 2,400 people to Mexico over the last three days, Nuñez-Neto said. The US and Mexico recently struck an agreement to deport certain non-Mexican nationals to Mexico. Nunez-Neto cautioned that smugglers will try to take advantage of shifts in policy.
There were about 6,300 border encounters on Friday, and 4,200 on Saturday, Mayorkas said, adding that the number stood at around 10,000 before the Title 42 policy ended.
Mayorkas, however, warned it’s too early to say whether the surge in migrants at the border has peaked…..
