Administration Will Completely End 'Catch and Release' of Illegal Immigrants Next Week

The Trump administration has been whittling away at the policy known as "Catch and Release" for two years.

After several initiatives that severely limited the practice, the Department of Homeland Security announced they would be completely ending the policy next week.

Limiting the time an illegal alien could spend in detention, which forced officials to affect their release, meant that basically all the government could do was hand the illegal a piece of paper telling them when they had to appear in court and release them into the interior of the U.S.That practice will now end.

"With some humanitarian and medical exceptions, DHS will no longer be releasing family units from Border Patrol Stations into the interior," McAleenan said Monday, according to a DHS press release.

The vast majority of them are family units from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and many of them lodge an asylum claim once Border Patrol apprehends them.

Open borders advocates are using this humanitarian crisis as a club to bludgeon the administration into adopting more lenient entry policies.

The tide from Central America is ebbing and some sort of order is returning to the border.
