ICE quietly stopped holding migrant children in border hotels on Sept. 11.

But CBP says unaccompanied minors and families with children can still be expelled from the US, without an opportunity to seek asylum, under COVID restrictions. @CBSNews. 1/
cbsnews.com/news/u-s-stops…
On Sept. 4, a federal judge ordered ICE to stop detaining migrant children in hotels, barring 72-hour stays.

That order, however, is not in effect due to a stay the 9th Circuit keeps extending.

DHS seemed to be complying with an order is not bound to (not yet at least). 2/
The number of unaccompanied children transferred to the US refugee agency—a requirement under anti-trafficking law—has increased in the past weeks.

Between April and July, the refugee agency received 330 children, even as CBP recorded 5,900 + arrests of unaccompanied minors. 3/
The US refugee agency received 423 migrant children from DHS in August, and 568 during the first three weeks of September.

It is now housing approximately 1,300 unaccompanied children, an increase from a more than a decade low of 800 in July. 4/

While hotel detention has ceased for the time being and more unaccompanied minors are being transferred to shelters, migrant children continue to be eligible for summary expulsions.

8,800 unaccompanied children had been expelled as of early Sept. 5/

Just yesterday, @taylorklevy helped halt the expulsions of two unaccompanied teens.

"Just because DHS has stopped using hotels does not mean that children are not being expeditiously expelled without any due process, without any chance to seek asylum." 6/
cbsnews.com/news/u-s-stops…
The Trump admin. has signaled it intends to continue this mass border expulsions policy indefinitely and published a rule that would allow it do so.

The Biden campaign has yet to say whether Biden would continue, alter or scrap this policy. More ⬇️ end/

EXCLUSIVE — CBS News has obtained internal Trump administration plans to revive Title 42 and expel migrants on public health grounds.

The first Trump administration cited COVID. Now it’s made plans to label migrants vectors of diseases like tuberculosis.
cbsnews.com/news/trump-tit…
The internal documents obtained by CBS News show the Trump administration has prepared plans to invoke Title 42 to empower officials to swiftly expel migrants without any of the processing outlined in federal immigration law, which says those on U.S. soil can request asylum.
The documents indicate the CDC is planning to issue an order that would label unauthorized migrants trying to enter the U.S. as public health risks, citing concerns that they could spread diseases like tuberculosis.

Border officials would be tasked with enforcing the order.

EXCLUSIVE — U.S. border agents have been directed to summarily deport migrants crossing into the country illegally, without allowing them to request asylum, in accordance with President Trump's orders, according to internal documents and officials.
cbsnews.com/news/trump-dep…
Just hours after being sworn in, Mr. Trump invoked sweeping presidential authorities to bar the entry of migrants deemed to be participating in an "invasion" of the U.S., as well as those who may pose a public health or national security risk.
He cited a law known as 212(f) that allows presidents to suspend the entry of foreigners whose entry is deemed to be "detrimental" to the U.S.

Internal documents indicate that, as of Tuesday, the president's "full" 212(f) authority was being implemented across the Texas border.

This action will surely trigger one of the most consequential legal battles on immigration in modern U.S. history.

NEWS — The Biden administration will not be extending the legal status of tens of thousands of Venezuelan migrants who were allowed to fly to the U.S. under a sponsorship program, according to officials and internal documents.
cbsnews.com/news/venezuela…
These Venezuelans have arrived under a Biden administration program, known as CHNV, that allows migrants from four countries to fly to the U.S. legally, if Americans sponsor them. It was designed to reduce illegal border crossings by offering them a legal way to come here.
They have been allowed to live, work in the U.S. for 2 years via immigration parole.

Some expected their parole to be extended, like was the case for Afghans and Ukrainians, but the administration had decided against it.

Venezuelans will start losing their parole this month.

NEWS — Unlawful crossings by migrants along the U.S. southern border dropped for the fifth consecutive month in July, plunging to the lowest level since the fall of 2020.
cbsnews.com/news/unlawful-…
U.S. Border Patrol agents made roughly 56,000 migrant apprehensions between official points of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border in July, the lowest number since September 2020, when the agency reported nearly 55,000 apprehensions.
For context: In December, during a record-breaking spike in migration at the U.S.-Mexico border that overwhelmed agents in parts of Texas and Arizona, Border Patrol reported 250,000 apprehensions, or over four times July's tally.

NEWS — In an exclusive interview, Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign chief signaled that Harris, if elected in November, would continue President Biden's asylum crackdown, which U.S. officials have credited for a steep drop in border crossings.
cbsnews.com/news/kamala-ha…
I asked Harris campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez if Harris would keep Biden’s ban on most asylum claims.

“At this point … the policies that are … having a real impact on ensuring that we have security and order at our border are policies that will continue,” she replied.
Chávez Rodríguez's comments are the first indication that U.S. border policy may not change significantly if Harris succeeds Mr. Biden as president, despite pressure from progressive activists angry with the Biden administration's pivot on asylum.
