Buffalo_Gal Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 REPORT: Trump Administration Has Reunited 95% Of Migrant Children With Their Families Or Sponsors </snip> The data provided had identified 2,648 children who were believed to have been separated at the southern border. The committee only had data from HHS on 1,619 of those children, but found that 99% had been discharged from HHS custody. “Of the 1,603 discharged children, 1,546 children—or 95 percent—were either reunified with an individual sponsor or released to a parent. Specifically, 1,061 children were released to a parent and 485 children were reunified with an individual sponsor,” the report found. The remaining 73 children who were discharged but not reunited have also been accounted for. Sixteen are being cared for by HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (which determined four of the 16 hadn’t been separated from a parent), 21 had sought a voluntary departure and went back to his or her home country, 20 turned 18 while in custody and could no longer be held by ORR, eight were sent to another migrant program, six went to a DHS family shelter, one was granted immigration relief, and that last child was a runaway. </snip> 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedge Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Mexico uncovers massive migrant smuggling ring using trucks Quote Mexican officials said Monday they have uncovered an industrial-scale migrant smuggling ring using tractor-trailer rigs disguised as freight deliveries for major companies. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said authorities found a tractor-trailer disguised with the logo of a major grocery store chain. But instead of groceries, it was carrying about 150 migrants. In June, Mexico detected five freight trucks carrying 925 migrants, almost all from Central America. Some of those trucks bore the logos of well-known firms, though it was not clear if those trucks were also fakes or had been used illegally by drivers without the companies' knowledge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 "Controversial"? CBS gotta CBS. First touch country is where you seek asylum in most of the world. Judge allows Trump administration's most restrictive asylum ban to continue Washington — A federal judge on Wednesday declined to block a new rule that effectively bars most migrants from Central America and other countries from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. The decision allows the Trump administration to implement for now its most ambitious effort yet to unilaterally overhaul the asylum system. Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington denied a request by several immigrant advocacy groups to issue an temporary order blocking the controversial asylum policy. </snip> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
