BREAKING: ICE releases over 1,000 migrants onto streets in Texas and New Mexico this week
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News offers the following information published by DailyMail:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released 522 migrants in New Mexico and Texas on Wednesday evening – bringing the total number of asylum seekers dropped off by the agency this week to more than 1,000.
ICE dropped off 186 people on Christmas Day and 400 in the two days preceding the holiday, according to CBS News.
The article goes on to state the following:
The migrants were dropped off at locations in El Paso, Texas, and Las Cruces, New Mexico.
El Paso straddles the U.S.-Mexico border, while Las Cruces is just 45 miles north of El Paso.
Earlier this week, ICE, without warning, dropped off the migrants at a Greyhound bus station in El Paso, Texas – leaving them with no food, money, or shelter.
But on Wednesday local charitable groups were more prepared to absorb the released migrants and immediately take them off the streets for placement into temporary shelters, Ruben Garcia told the El Paso Times.
Fox News also reported on the releases, and provided the following information:
After a similar release Sunday, ICE blamed “decades of inaction by Congress” for limiting its ability to remove families who are in the U.S. illegally.
“To mitigate the risk of holding family units past the timeframe allotted to the government, ICE has curtailed reviews of post-release plans from families apprehended along the southwest border,” the statement read. “ICE continues to work with local and state officials and NGO partners in the area so they are prepared to provide assistance with transportation or other services.”
Garcia said he has been working with ICE in recent months to coordinate drop-offs and shelter placement for incoming migrants. He said he has been receiving about 2,000 migrants a week.
Garcia runs the Annunciation House, a homeless and refugee shelter in El Paso.
Earlier this month, Customs and Border Protection had tweeted that, due to the influx of Central American family units pouring in, “the processing system at CBP and our partner agencies has hit capacity.”
With the influx of Central American family units arriving at US ports of entry without proper documentation and crossing US borders illegally, the processing system at CBP and our partner agencies has hit capacity. https://t.co/iu8PZ9dFyi

This past year, CBP experienced a 121% increase in the number of asylum seekers processed at US ports of entry, and overall CBP processed almost 93,000 claims of fear in FY18. CBP processes undocumented persons as expeditiously as possible. https://t.co/iu8PZ9dFyi

Barbara December 27th, 2018 at 1:47 pm
Why not take them to New York and Nancy Pelosi neighborhood and release them!
Suzanne December 27th, 2018 at 12:45 pm
So catch and release is still ongoing even tho we sent money to Latin America and Mexico with the promise that these people would remain in Mexico awaiting their documentation. We are being lied to by this administration.
Cab December 27th, 2018 at 3:14 pm
No , the liberal judge ruled against Trumps order, so now they can’t keep them in Mexico, it is tied up in court. So in the meantime it is still catch and release, blame it on the democrats!!!!
Mary December 27th, 2018 at 12:55 pm
Why! Why! Why! This is insane
Kathy December 27th, 2018 at 1:07 pm
I am so done with Make America Great Again. Trump is not getting my vote in 2020. 1,000 more illegals we have to pay for. My sister in Florida says it’s hard to come across a English speaking person
Cab December 27th, 2018 at 3:17 pm
A liberal judge overruled Trumps order to keep them in Mexico, that is why they are releaseing them. It is the democrats doing this! The news is not telling you this, you need to look other places for the facts!!!!!
Jane December 27th, 2018 at 8:57 pm
President Trump is doing all he can, you want to cuss at anybody do it to the Democrats that want to see him fail. He can only do so much.
Kathy December 27th, 2018 at 1:09 pm
Plus that 1,000 will go up 1/4 real quick because they are baby making machines
Melanie Cronn December 27th, 2018 at 1:43 pm
Why are they not being released back into Mexico?! Why r they being released on American soil?! This is effing crazy!
Sandra Thompson December 27th, 2018 at 1:48 pm
There is something seriously wrong here, we have no say in this invasion and yet we are expected to pay and pay for these illegals.
They have brought danger, crime and diseases to our doorstep.
More will be dropped off, we are losing the country fast.
Cab December 27th, 2018 at 3:10 pm
They have no choice, the liberal judge shot down Trumps EO order to keep them in Mexico. The congress is all to blame for this, they pass the laws! Border Patrol is following the law. Catch and release is still a law thanks to that liberal judge
Cab December 27th, 2018 at 3:20 pm
Instead of complaining on here ya all need to start emailing your congress members! That will make a difference, get busy people!!
Douglas Schmitt December 27th, 2018 at 3:40 pm
Fuck writing letters that the assholes won’t read and don’t care. Start arming and start shooting. This is so much bullshit.
