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.”
