Senators demanded DHS provide a report first revealed by BuzzFeed News on a controversial policy forcing migrants to remain in Mexico.
A group of senior DHS leaders not involved with the policy compiled the report and provided a number of recommendations that suggest the program has created significant issues at the border
Leahy wrote in his letter that “BuzzFeed News published an article detailing the recommendations in an internal Department of Homeland Security report...which describes serious, potentially illegal, and certainly immoral problems in the implementation of this administration’s Migration Protection Protocols.” Leahy requests the letter, a briefing on the report, and plans to act on the recommendations in the report.
To that end, the program requires immigrants to affirmatively tell CBP officers that they fear for their safety in Mexico in order to have a chance of avoiding being returned to the country. In those cases, CBP officers should refer immigrants to be interviewed by US Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum officers.
DHS officials found that some immigrants have had to give up their shelter space in Mexico when they depart for the US for a court hearing and are then left without an address to follow up on their cases, according to the report. The officials recommend CBP create a “reliable method of communication” so immigrants can be reached during their wait.
