DHS paroled 6,000 migrants on Thursday alone: ‘Nobody has any idea who they are’: Migrants released into the U.S. without full vetting; Migrants allowed into US as asylum seekers given immigration court dates into year 2035
DHS paroled 6,000 migrants on Thursday alone: ‘Nobody has any idea who they are’:
As the Department of Homeland Security catches and releases illegal immigrants into the U.S., one burning question is how much authorities actually know about whom they’re releasing.
Border Patrol agents say the answer is not very much.
“Vast majority of the millions of illegal aliens [President] Biden is allowing into our country are not being properly vetted, for anything,” the National Border Patrol Council said on Twitter. “Nobody has any idea who they are, what medical conditions they have, what their records are, or what their intentions are. Period.”
That’s worrisome at a time when the numbers at the southern border are shattering records, with 10,000 people a day being caught.
One DHS source said the department paroled or released 6,000 people into the country on Thursday alone.
The department didn’t respond to a request for comment on that figure, but political appointees in the Biden administration insist that everyone they encounter is properly screened, whether they are being released or not.
“U.S. Customs and Border Protection screens and vets individuals whom we encounter,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently told reporters.
Blas Nunez-Nieto, his assistant secretary, echoed that to reporters on Friday: “Regardless of how we process noncitizens in our facilities, they all undergo rigorous national security and public safety vetting,” —>READ MORE HERE
Migrants allowed into US as asylum seekers given immigration court dates into year 2035:
Migrants processed into the US as asylum seekers are being given immigration court dates more than a decade away.
In Brownsville, migrants who arrived in the US Thursday showed The Post their paperwork with designated court dates set as late as 2032 and 2035 in Chicago and Florida.
Now they have been admitted to the county and given a court date, the migrants can receive a work permit and legally live and work in the US until their case comes up.
Others who had immigration court hearings set for August 2023 in a Maryland immigration court and March 2027 at a Dallas immigration court.
Two people heading to New York City had dates listed for 2025.
Backlogs at immigration courts currently stand at 2.1 million cases waiting to be heard.
There are around 600 immigration court judges deciding asylum cases, and in the last financial year, they closed approximately 312,000 cases.
According to data from the Justice Department, 2022 saw the highest number of asylum applications on record, with almost 700,000 filed.
That record could be broken this year, with projections based on first-quarter figures to be almost 740,000 applications filed. —>READ MORE HERE
