A Washington Post report has claimed that the Department of Homeland Security is drafting plans to have Immigration and Customs Enforcement release thousands of illegal immigrants currently in custody into American cities and towns all at once.
The Post reports that “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has drafted plans to release thousands of immigrants and slash its capacity to hold detainees after the failure of a Senate border bill that would have erased a $700 million budget shortfall, according to four officials at ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.”
The report continues, “Some of the proposed cost savings in ICE detention would occur through attrition — deportations — but much of it would have to happen through the mass release of detainees, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.”
Commenting on the development, RJ Hauman of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) questioned why this needs to happen when Congress allocated more money that the Biden Administration asked for as relates to detention facilities.
The development comes as the Biden Administration is claiming that only Congress can fix the border disaster, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also warning that the number of deportations carried out by ICE agents may be culled unless the House and Senate pass legislation to ensure billions in funds for DHS to process border crossers more efficiently.
“Because congressional Republicans are choosing partisan politics over our national security and refusing to pass the bipartisan national security agreement that includes significant border reforms and funding, over the coming weeks, ICE will be forced to reduce operations because of budget shortfalls,” Jean-Pierre said.
Meanwhile, officials in American cities are asking where exactly masses of illegal immigrants are going to fit in.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said unequivocally that there is no room left in the city, noting “Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not.”
“It’s not like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are. We have a rich history of immigrants, but we can’t take the global problem and [have] it become our problem. That is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to migrants,” Adams added.
“We’re not just saying we’re out of room as a soundbite,” He further warned, adding “We’re out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets.”
“I cannot break the law and enforce the law,” Adams continued, adding “I can’t deport. I can’t stop people from coming in, repeated criminal behaviour. I can’t report to ICE for deportation.”
The only places left to go for masses of illegal immigrants are the homes of Americans.

It Will Have Its Hands and Jails Full!-Every 12’x12′-Section Can Hold 9 New Plants if You Know How To Minimize!-Wink Wink!-My Opinion!
Should have said “are being used”. No facility to correct errors here.
There’s not much room available in detention centres. Perhaps the FEMA camps ware being used (and possibly just one reason they were created).
I think they’ll wait until after the election. Whoever is going to be running in Biden’s stead will not appreciate him illuminating this issue so close to an election. Although he could do this as an FU to the Democrats eventual nominee (not Joe).
