The Biden administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/biden-administration-defends-migrant-parole-release-policy-at-eleventh-circuit/\">appealed that ruling earlier Friday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency for both CBP and the Border Patrol, will have to scramble to comply now with Judge Gee’s order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DHS does try to process kids and family units as quickly as they can.

And my fear is, numbers increase over the summer. … And it might get worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Welch, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, said Gee’s ruling was needed to light a fire under border agents and force them to address the children’s welfare with more urgency.

There are few legal pathways for people to come and work or to reunite with family. The U.S. asylum system is backlogged. And migration is on the rise globally, as people flee corruption, repression and economic collapse in their home countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The system does not match our 21st Century immigration needs,” said Bush-Joseph. “And this decision is a reflection of how that fails children and puts them in really dangerous conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘The system does not match our 21st Century immigration needs.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Kathleen Bush-Joseph, policy analyst, Migration Policy Institute","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>To reduce pressure at the border, she said Congress needs to overhaul the legal immigration system and the asylum process. For starters, she pointed to a bipartisan Senate bill supported by the Biden administration — but abandoned by Republicans after Trump criticized it — that would have created a more streamlined asylum system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the Senate bill, the process would have been sped up to be done in six months, which would have been a huge difference,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Bush-Joseph said, the Border Patrol is struggling to meet the demands of the current situation, especially in the wake of a federal court ruling in Florida last year that ordered officials to spend more time on background checks and issue notices for migrants to appear in court, which has slowed the process at the border. The Biden administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/biden-administration-defends-migrant-parole-release-policy-at-eleventh-circuit/\">appealed that ruling earlier Friday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency for both CBP and the Border Patrol, will have to scramble to comply now with Judge Gee’s order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DHS does try to process kids and family units as quickly as they can. But this could require them to dedicate more officers and move resources around, maybe from other border posts,” she said. “It’s difficult to imagine how they’re really going to be able to dramatically change conditions. And my fear is, numbers increase over the summer. … And it might get worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Welch, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, said Gee’s ruling was needed to light a fire under border agents and force them to address the children’s welfare with more urgency. And she said the heated political rhetoric about uncontrolled migration at the border is beside the point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When children show up in your backyard — whether you’re Democrat or Republican or what[ever] your politics are — most people’s first inclination is to want to make sure they’re cared for,” she said. “So for me, this isn’t really about politics. This is about how we, as a country, want to take care of children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Gee also ordered the CBP Juvenile Coordinator to file a report by May 10 on the number of kids still in open-air sites and how the government is making conditions better for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11982020/judge-rules-border-patrol-must-care-for-migrant-children-waiting-in-open-air-camps","authors":["259"],"categories":["news_1169","news_8"],"tags":["news_24736","news_3716","news_27626","news_23687","news_20202","news_23796","news_244"],"featImg":"news_11982042","label":"news"},"news_11872003":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11872003","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11872003","score":null,"sort":[1620064041000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"biden-task-force-reunifies-handful-of-families-separated-at-u-s-border","title":"Biden Task Force Reunifies Handful of Families Separated at US Border","publishDate":1620064041,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>A handful of migrant families that were separated at the border by the Trump administration will be allowed to reunify in the United States this week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four families will be the first to be reunified through a task force that was created by President Biden shortly after taking office in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to allow migrant parents into the U.S. to reunify with their children here marks a sharp break with the Trump administration, which resisted allowing parents who were previously deported to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our team is dedicated to finding every family and giving them an opportunity to reunite and heal,\" Mayorkas told reporters Sunday.
