DHS Resumes Fast-Track Deportation Flights for Denied Asylum Seekers

The Department of Homeland Security announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be conducting the recently resumed fast-track deportation flights to Central America for migrants denied asylum in the United States.

DHS on Friday said that flights taking migrants back to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras had resumed.

"Asylum and other legal migration pathways should be readily available to those who need them, and this Administration is committed to fairly and efficiently considering asylum claims," DHS said in a statement.

Migrants who do not to have a valid asylum claim and who cannot be deported through the Title 42 public health protections will be taken away on these flights, according to Fox News.

Most single adults had been deported by the Biden administration under Title 42, but unaccompanied children or migrant families with children under seven had not been expelled.

The DHS statement appeared to show efforts at toughening the administration's stance on illegal immigration.

The deportation flights comes after the White House announced how it plans to target the "Root causes" of immigration from Central America.
