“The Department continues to utilize all available authorities and processes, including the expulsion of individuals apprehended at the border pursuant to CDC authority, to address the ongoing public health challenges,” the spokesperson wrote. “These expulsions may be effected from either CBP or ICE facilities.” A final decision has not been made, the spokesperson said. Last month, ICE officials said parents and children seeking asylum would no longer be held at the center as part of a broader shift by President Joe Biden s administration to reduce the use of family detention. In a court filing on March 5, the U.S. government said it had released all families detained at the Berks Center and that it would instead be used by ICE to hold adults. Families would still be detained at larger detention centers in Karnes City and Dilley in Texas, but the government intended to hold people at those sites for three days or less, the court filing said. ....
Laura Benshoff / WHYY The federal government has proposed more bed space in the Berks Family Residential Center a detail missing from one commissioner’s public statement last week about the center’s future. Berks County Commissioner Chair Christian Leinbach said the proposal’s “bottom line” was the county’s willingness to continue detaining families or just women migrants.

By Berks County Residential Center, July 19, 2019. (Katie Meyer/WITF) Six employees at the Berks Family Residential center have tested positive for coronavirus in the last two months, and earlier this month, the center reported its first case among detainees. The detainee’s case is one of more than 100 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among asylum-seeking families detained by the federal government. The center’s cases were revealed in filings by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security earlier this month in a Washington, D.C. district court. The filings are part of an ongoing court case in which multiple immigrant advocacy legal groups call for families to be released from detention due to the pandemic. The documents detail how COVID-19 has entered the nation’s three family detention centers in recent months. ....
