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/

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/

NEWS: ICE is detaining 59,000 detainees in facilities across the US, likely a record high, internal figures obtained by CBS News show.

ICE is at over 140% of its congressionally funded detention capacity.

Nearly half of detainees lack criminal records.
cbsnews.com/news/ice-recor…
The 59,000 level tops the previous peak in 2019, when the first Trump administration held as many as 55,000 immigrants in ICE detention.

Historical data gathered by the Marshall Project suggests the 59,000 figure is the highest in the history of U.S. immigration detention
The federal statistics show nearly half — or 47% — of those currently detained by ICE lack a criminal record and fewer than 30% have been convicted of crimes, a sign of the widening scope of President Trump's escalating crackdown on illegal immigration.

The Trump administration will be revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants welcomed into the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process, urging them to self-deport or face arrest and removal by deportation agents.

CBS News first reported this plan on Feb. 1.
DHS said it will seek the arrest and deportation of those subject to the policy change if they fail to depart the U.S. in the next 30 das.

Officials are urging migrants to use the newly repurposed CBP Home smartphone app to register for self-deportation.
But DHS said it retains the authority to target migrants who arrived under this program before the 30-day period lapses.

Officials say those prioritized for arrest will include migrants who have failed to apply for another immigration benefit like asylum or a green card.

Exclusive: CBS News has obtained an internal U.S. government list of the Venezuelan men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador as part of a secretive operation that has triggered a legal standoff and global debate.

We have published their names.
cbsnews.com/news/venezuela…
Here’s what we know:

- 137 of the 238 Venezuelans sent to El Salvador were deported under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

- The other 101 were deported under immigration law.

- The Trump admin. says they’re all linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, an accusation relatives dispute.
We also know that the U.S. government has said in a court declaration that while some of those expelled to El Salvador have criminal records, "many" do not.

Beyond that, the U.S. government has provided very few details to the public and the judge overseeing this case.

BREAKING: Federal judge James Boasberg says during a hearing that he will issue an order blocking the Trump administration from deporting “all noncitizens in U.S. custody who are subject” to President Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation.
Remarkably, Boasberg appeared to say that any deportation flights in the air with migrants subject to this order on board should be returned to the U.S.
Lee Gelernt, the ACLU lawyer leading this lawsuit tells me, “We are the thrilled the judge recognized the severe harm our plaintiffs would face if removed. The President’s use of the Alien Enemies Act is flat out lawless.”

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.
