FIRST ON FOX: A decision to authorize all Border Patrol Sectors to begin
"safe" mass releases of migrants to city streets if non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are overcapacity will take place in line with a 2022
memo that was uncovered during legal proceedings initiated by Florida
Attorney General Ashley Moody last year and outlined how to handle
releases when Title 42 ends.
Fox News on Tuesday reported that top border officials in Washington,
D.C., have decided to authorize all Border Patrol Sectors to begin the
releases if Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and NGOs can’t hold
migrants. It means that they will be released at bus stops, gas stations, supermarkets and elsewhere.
The decision was made amid a surge of migrants across the border that has
hit over 10,000 a day across multiple days this week. NGOs are already approaching their limits on capacity, and those numbers are expected to
only get worse in the coming days when Title 42 — which allows for the
rapid expulsion of migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic — expires.

END, HIGHEST EVER RECORDED
The releases are in line with an internal memo published in May 2022 by
Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, which outlined guidance for situations
when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is unable to accept illegal immigrants due to a lack of space and instead, they must be released from custody to prevent overcrowding. The memo says that releases "should be conducted in the vicinity of [NGOs] which are able to provide further
services" and that liaison officers will work to identify capacity and capabilities for "accepting releases, safe locations and times at which releases may be most appropriate."
The guidance says releases should be done "in a safe, humane, and orderly manner" and also outlines what should happen if NGO space is not
available.
"Releases should be made at ‘hubs’ where noncitizens have access to
services offered by NGOs, transportation hubs, and/or other safe
locations," it says, adding that releases should be tracked by sector.
The memo also outlines factors Border Patrol should consider, including distance, timing, safety and transportation options.
Ortiz was asked about the memo during a July 28, 2022, deposition as part
of a lawsuit by Attorney General Moody against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"It's a memorandum that I signed on May 19th, 2022, and it discusses the non-citizen releases from our custody," he said.

SOURCES SAY
"In your experience, 31 years with the Border Patrol, have you ever seen a document— or have you ever seen a memorandum like Exhibit 3 before?" a
lawyer asked him.
Ortiz replied, "No."
Since that deposition, a federal judge has blocked a separate policy that
saw migrants being released through a process called "Parole + ATD [Alternatives to Detention]."
Moody’s chief of staff this week sought to check whether those releases reported by Fox News were taking place under an alternative policy.
A DOJ attorney from the Office of Immigration Litigation responded by
saying that DHS has said the releases will be occurring "pursuant to the
policy described in the May 19, 2022, memorandum from [Ortiz]..."
In a statement, Moody said that it shows DHS intends to "stand down" amid
the surge in migration.
"We uncovered Biden’s disastrous plan almost a year ago, yet the corporate media ignored the overwhelming evidence that DHS plans to stand down as
Title 42 expires and hundreds of thousands of migrants storm the Southwest Border," she said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Americans need to know that this crisis is about to kick into overdrive,
and it is because of the deliberate dismantling of our public-safety immigration structures that Biden and [Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro] Mayorkas have been attacking since day one in office," Moody
said.
On Wednesday, DHS clarified its policy and how it plans to conduct
releases.

MIGRANTS AREN'T LISTENING
"As Republican and Democratic administrations alike have done in the past
to protect the safety and security of Border Patrol agents and migrants in
the event of severe overcrowding conditions, U.S. Border Patrol sectors
may consider releasing certain migrants who have undergone strict national security and public safety vetting to continue their immigration
processes," a spokesperson said. "This may include processing migrants for parole to reduce the amount of time they spend in custody."
"Each parole will be considered on an individualized case-by-case basis,
and individuals who are released will be required to check in with
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and undergo removal proceedings in immigration court. Individuals may be placed into an Alternatives to
Detention program to ensure compliance, if deemed appropriate. The
targeted use of parole will allow Border Patrol to focus its resources
most effectively to quickly process and remove individuals who do not have
a legal basis to remain in the country," the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, Mayorkas said Wednesday there is a plan in place to deal with
the surge in migration, but blamed the coming chaos on inaction by
Congress.
"I cannot overemphasize that our current situation is the outcome of
Congress leaving a broken, outdated immigration system in place for over
two decades, despite unanimous agreement that we desperately need
legislative reform. It is also the result of Congress' decision not to
provide us with the resources we need and that we requested," he said.

We are literally watching this administration and a host of complicit politicians dismantle our country right before our eyes. Yet, in November
of 2024, we'll still see people going to the polls and voting for more of
the same.
If history books are even allowed many years in the future, I suspect this
will be a chapter about the fall of what was once the United States of
America. It'll be grouped with other great empires that rose to greatness
and fell. Destroyed from within.

There will be history books in the future. Unfortunately they will
contain the Left's truths rather than facts. Those books will feature
very different information than what really happened in this dark period
of what was the end of America.

A secure border with officers, walls and laws that turn migrants around
and/or arrest them and then deport them is not a "broken immigration
system" as the Democrats like to call it. It's only broken if the laws
aren't enforced.
