Recent directives from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have mandated the holding of migrants in custody, with a focus on swiftly removing individuals who are deemed ineligible for asylum. This decision, aimed at curbing the practice of 'catch and release,' signifies a shift in immigration policy under the current administration.
According to a source familiar with the discussions, CBP has been instructed to detain migrants for extended periods if necessary, rather than releasing them. This move comes amidst ongoing efforts to address the influx of migrants at the US-Mexico border.
