Several migrants are being released from the Mexico border into the United States without paperwork and sometimes court notices. The movement from the U.S. authorities on the border is deemed to be time-saving yet confusing the asylum seekers with its sudden implementation, according to an Associated Press report.
The said movement from the authorities lessens the number of people who need to stay in the border facilities which are already overcrowded. It can be remembered that on Monday, temporary Customs and Border facility located in Donna, Texas housed about 5,700 asylum seekers. A great number has surpassed the supposed 250 maximum capacity of the detention center.
Migrants freed without court notice – and sometimes no paperwork
The Border Patrol began the unusual practice last week in Texas Rio Grande Valley, which has seen the biggest increase in families and unaccompanied minors crossing from Mexico.
