Border crossers released into the interior of the United States by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus just as President Joe Biden has denied that there is “a crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border.
After taking office, Biden reinstated the Catch and Release program where border crossers are freed into the U.S. interior while they await asylum and immigration hearings that many do not ultimately attend, instead opting to live illegally in the country.
Aside from about 25,600 migrants enrolled in the now-canceled Remain in Mexico program, border crossers released into the U.S. interior are not required to test negative for the coronavirus. Instead, communities along the border are being forced to test border crossers themselves.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency received backlash after it locked the ICE Twitter account that gives updates and safety alerts regarding the illegal immigrants present in the United States who have committed crimes.
Fox Business noted that the agency s account was created in 2013 and boosted during the Trump Administration. It became a platform for posting escapees, including their name, nationality, criminal history, and the U.S. Jurisdiction where they were released.

Former Senior Employee at U.S. ICE, John Feere, shared with The Washington Times that the account of the agency, known to be @ICEAlerts, is protected. This means that only the users following the account before its update on their privacy setting can see the target names. Feere added that users are also not allowed to retweet the old posts published by the agency.
