Top DHS Officials: Catch And Release For Illegal Immigrants Is Coming Back
President Donald Trump may not admit it but, practically speaking, his administrations zero-tolerance border strategy is dead.
Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged that reality at a meeting Thursday afternoon, according to a former department official with knowledge of the meeting.
Its going to be 'catch and release' because they dont have the detention beds for them, the former official said.
That same message was delivered by Brandon Judd, president of a union for Border Patrol agents, who told CNN Thursday that the executive order Trump signed Wednesday requiring families caught at the border to be detained together simply left his agency no choice.
"We're going to have to release them," he said.

Does this apply to asylum-seekers? Whether they crossed at 'Ports of Entry' or not?
So much friggin' confusing terminology and lack of precision in seemingly all the news stories of what's going on down there, really getting sick of it.
