Epoch Times: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has no choice but to deport illegal immigrant families that fail to show up for their court hearings, said Mark Morgan, acting director of the agency.
“For the safety of our communities and the integrity of our immigration system, the law must be equally and fairly applied to all,” he said in a June 19 conference call with reporters.
Morgan commented on the growing humanitarian and security crisis at the border, where apprehensions of illegal crossers increased some 135 percent in the first eight months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-earlier period.
Over Capacity
Due to a shortage in detention capacity, ICE has released more than 200,000 migrants into the U.S. interior since Dec. 1, he said.
The Border Patrol only has a holding capacity of 4,000 people, but had as many as 19,000 in custody recently.
“They are past the breaking point,” Morgan said.
Normally, Border Patrol transfers illegal immigrants to ICE, which then decides whether to hold or release them. But due to overcapacity, the Border Patrol had been forced to release them directly. more here

That’s it, go after the whole nest at once. Round em up, head em out!
I don’t see how anyone can legitimately oppose this.
If were given a citation and court date for something as simple as an overdue library book and didn’t show up for court an arrest warrant would be issued for me and I would be arrested as soon as I was found (this has actually happened to people).
So why shouldn’t these people be arrested for something far more serious?
I’m sure the Leftists will oppose this, but I’d like to hear them explain why.
@Anonymous – because they are refugees, fleeing atrocities, that’s why!
I mean, it isn’t a good argument but that is what they will say. Emotion, you know.
Round up the sponsors too.
The detention center needs to be at the airport. Flights departing to Mexico, every hour.
