Bloomberg: “Trump plans to declare a national emergency at the border, direct the Pentagon to deploy additional individuals to the border, and seek to end ‘catch and release,’ the policy by which migrants are released while awaiting a hearing on their asylum status.”
“The president-elect is also preparing a proclamation to end the asylum process, which officials say would allow the immediate removal of those in the country already awaiting a court hearing.”
“The administration will look to reinstate the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy that requires those seeking asylum to stay in Mexico before their immigration court date, direct federal agencies to resume construction of the border wall, and declare gangs and cartels involved in human smuggling as terrorist organizations.”
