Biden Admin Weighs Revival Of Policy To Detain Illegal Alien Families

FILE - Unaccompanied migrant minors aged 3 to 9, watch a television monitor inside a playpen at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, the main detention center for unaccompanied children in the Rio Grande Valley, in Donna, Texas, on March 30, 2021. Stalled negotiations for the U.S. government to pay families separated at the border during Donald Trump's presidency have brought new threats of extortion. While specific reports are isolated, widespread extortion in Central America explains why many seek asylum in the United States in the first place and some advocates fear prospects of a large payment will fuel many more threats. It is far from clear whether families will receive any money at all from the U.S. government. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills, Pool, File)
  • The Biden administration is reportedly considering the revival of a policy that would detain migrant families who cross the southern border illegally amid the expected expiration of Title 42.
  • The deliberation by the White House, first reported by the New York Times, comes after President Biden put an end to several policies that were used by former President Trump’s administration to crack down on the heavy flow of illegal migrants into America.
  • The White House move could also include other measures to tamp down on the number of illegal migrants in the country, according to Reuters, which reported that the Biden administration is also considering reviving arrests of migrant families in the U.S. who have been ordered deported.
