US Authorities to Release 600,000 Illegal Immigrants in Next 5 Months; ICE Says It's 3,000 People Every Day:

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to release around 600,000 illegal immigrants into communities by the end of September. The agency has intimated the decision to a federal judge. This figure is an early estimation which the administration expects after it ends the Title 42 expulsion, a Covid-19 border policy.

The figure was disclosed in a court filing which dealt with the plans to address the situation of the illegal immigrant children who arrived due to the pandemic surge.

The Homeland Security Department is anticipating a "historic border surge, with projections forecasted to triple current arrivals," Deane Dougherty, ICE'S juvenile coordinator wrote in the filing. He added later that the ICE intends to catch and release as many as 3,000 immigrants every day, in comparison to 774 a day in March.

Homeland Security has estimated to catch at least 18,000 people a day crossing the border. Several will probably be caught to be released later by the Border Patrol prior to entering ICE custody, hence the releases may amount to a much higher figure than 600,000.

"...Given these forecasts and the recently announced decision to end Title 42 next month, ICE must shift its focus and prepare to manage its resources for a population of up to 600,000 by the end of the fiscal year," the coordinator explains further. --->READ MORE HERE

ICE Set to Release 600,000 Illegal Aliens into U.S. by End of September, 3.6M Already In:

Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) is expected to release more than half a million illegal aliens into the interior of the United States over the next sixth months.

The prediction was provided to a federal judge about what can be expected at the southern border with Mexico after the Title 42 coronavirus border protocol is dropped next month.

The deportation agency’s assessment covers the remaining months of the current fiscal year that ends on September 30, with the estimate totaling about 100,000 who will be released each month.

Deane Dougherty, ICE’s juvenile coordinator who said many minor illegal aliens are expected, wrote in a court filing that the development would represent a “historic border surge.” --->READ MORE HERE
