I wish some people, including TV news broadcasters who usually don’t cover migration, would stop saying Biden reversed a Trump policy and began accepting unaccompanied kids. It’s not true. It is true that from March through November, 16,350 kids were expelled by Trump under T42.
… Biden did CONTINUE accepting kids when the NOVEMBER court order against expelling kids was reversed, but the reduction in % expelled actually started drifting down in August as you can see from the top graph (numbers below chart on left)…
..Then the precipitous drop with the Nov court order is evident. Then, all of Dec through March is a flat line. NO change in the % expelled. In fact, In Dec + Jan 171 were expelled and in Feb+ March 199 were expelled...
..As a final note: The reduction in % expelled August through Oct was not because of the change in the mix of encounters of MX and non-MX UCs. It was a real reduction in No Triangle and other UC. @WitnessBorder @ReichlinMelnick @adam_wola @David_J_Bier @ifindkarma

It’s good to remind ourselves that although 40% of encounters in March resulted in releases that 103,900 PEOPLE WERE EXPELLED at our doorstep without even the illusion of due process or the ability to make their…

1/8 Thread. Highlights of my open letter that I hope you will read/consider that I mailed this weekend to Joe/Jill Biden, Kamala , Alejandro Mayorkas, Ur Jaddou about their messaging last week to be patient on immediate border changes. Their concern…witnessattheborder.org/posts/122820
2/8… fear that we will create a crisis at the border and “have 2 mill people on our border.”…I’m under no illusion the letter will reach it’s intended audiences, so comments and RTs welcome. Dialogue is important now…
3/8…A humanitarian crisis exists TODAY Migrants died yesterday, today, and will tomorrow. In dangerous lands and the hell of the desert. Just because the crisis is not on US soil does not mean it’s not real and that it absolves our soul from the moral imperative to protect …

1/10 .@DHS_Wolf As promised, here are 4 more questions I would ask you at your confirmation hearing had I been invited. Feel free to answer in the comments below. I'm still waiting for answers to yesterday's questions. I will attach in this thread in case you missed them...
2/10 1. April through July you expelled 84,000 Mexicans under Title 42 (CDC order). BUT, Mexico only reports receiving 46,200 under the US repatriation agreement with Mexico. That is a GAP of almost 38,000. If we est. the full pandemic, the GAP is 52,000 people....
3/10....Where did 52,000 people disappear to? Or, are we not expelling under the repatriation agreement for Title 42? If not, is there a formal agreement? What is the agreement with Mexico to ensure documentation and humanitarian treatment? Is it available? If not, why not?

1 /6 .@DHS_Wolf I was not invited to your confirmation hearing Wednesday so I will leave you some questions in this thread. I may have more this week, but feel free to put your answers to these 3 in the comments now.
2/6 1.Since 26 April Guatemala has required a negative COVID test for all deportations from the US (ICE and Guatemala confirmed). From 1 May to 18 Sept, 744 unaccompanied children (UACs) have been repatriated by the US to Guatemala....
3/6..If these children tested negative, as required, they are NO HEALTH RISK to the US. How can you expel children, alone, to Guatemala under Title 42 (CDC order) if they pose NO HEALTH RISK to the US?? This is illogical, right??

There has been over 100 ICE Air flights into Columbus GA and over 100 out this year shuffling detainees around the US. None disclosed by ICE. There was one today. How many witnesses will be disappeared? .@WitnessBorder

ICE does not disclose their flights. @WitnessBorder tracks for transparency.
