Donald Trump Promises End to ‘Catch and Release’ Within Weeks

During the flight to Washington, DC, from California, the president and Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan announced to reporters they would be able to end the practice of releasing illegals and migrants caught at the southern border into the United States.

Despite Trump’s promise to strictly enforce the border, the Department of Homeland Security continues to release nearly 130 illegal aliens and border-crossers a day.

But the president and the CBP commissioner promised to move forward on ending the practice entirely.

“We’re confident that in a couple of weeks we’re going to be able to end Catch and Release at the southwest border,” Morgan said.
