ICE to release 600,000 illegal immigrants by September
ICE is getting ready to release as many as 600,000 illegal immigrants into communities before the end of September, the agency told a federal judge, giving an early estimate of the chaos the administration is predicting after it ends to the Title 42 pandemic border shutdown.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed the figure in a court filing dealing with how it plans to handle illegal immigrant children who come as part of the surge.
Dean Dougherty, ICE’s juvenile coordinator, wrote in the filing that Homeland Security expects “an historic border surge, with projections forecasted to triple current arrivals.”
He said ICE expects to get and release more than 3,000 illegal immigrants from the border every day. That’s up from just 774 a day in March.
