Media outlets report that despite promises from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Haitian migrants are being released into the U.S. interior. One official told the Associated Press the number of migrants released in recent days is in the thousands.
“If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned, your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family’s life,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas said during a press conference in Del Rio on Monday. “Your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family’s lives.”
“We in DHS are securing additional transportation to accelerate the pace and increase the capacity of removal flights to Haiti and other destinations in the Western Hemisphere,” he stated.
Despite these bold promises of removal, it appears the number of Haitians being removed is in the hundreds while those being released are in the thousands. --->READ MORE HERE
Thousands of Haitian migrants who were camping out at the small Texas border town of Del Rio have been released into the US, a new report said — even as the Biden administration has warned that those who cross into the country illegally will be sent back home.
In recent days, Haitians have been freed on “a very, very large scale” and given notices to appear at an immigration office within 60 days, a US official told the Associated Press.
Another US official who spoke to AP corroborated the release of a large number of Haitians who were being processed under immigration laws.
And reporters with the news service witnessed mass releases at the Del Rio bus station.
The Haitians were among as many of 15,000 migrants who congregated last week underneath the Del Rio International Bridge after crossing into Texas from Mexico. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
