of Illegal Aliens After Expanding Program Last Month
< >
President Donald Trump’s latest order, in which he demands an end to “Catch and Release,” comes less than a month after he signed the omnibus spending bill which expanded the program, allowing for more illegal aliens caught at the border to be released into the United States.
Catch and Release is the process where illegal aliens caught by federal immigration officials are released back into the U.S. until their immigration court hearing. Part of the reason for their release into the country is because the federal government refuses to fund the space needed to detain illegal aliens until their hearing.
Trump signed the order, though it is not expected to actually end Catch and Release, rather it mandates that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report to the president in 45 to 75 days on how immigration agencies are working to bureaucratically end the practice.
The directive was signed by Trump just a few weeks after he signed a Republican and Democrat-passed spending bill that worked to expand Catch and Release, Breitbart News reported last month.
