Trump May Have Just Ended ‘Catch And Release' With A Stroke Of The Pen
2018-04-07
[Daily Caller] A memorandum signed by President Trump on Friday could be the beginning of the end for America’s longstanding "catch and release" policy at the border.

The memo gives the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies 45 days to detail "all measures that their respective departments have pursued or are pursuing to expeditiously end ’catch and release’ practices," according to The Hill.

In addition to other measures, the departments are also supposed to provide "a detailed list of all existing facilities, including military facilities, that could be used, modified, or repurposed to detain aliens for violations of immigration law at or near the borders of the United States."

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have also been directed to identify additional means "that may be needed to expeditiously end ’catch and release’ practices."

The practice allowed captured illegal immigrants to be released from custody until their court date. "Catch and release" has been sharply criticized by President Trump and others because many illegals often don’t appear for their court dates.
