NEW: Nearly 600,000 migrants who crossed the border since March 2021 have been released into the U.S. without being charged or given a court date, data obtained by NBCNews shows, and thousands have been dropped from the program supposed to track them.

Much of the criticism of Biden’s border policies from both Republicans and Democrats has been focused on migrants as they cross the southern border, but less attention has been paid to how the administration is handling migrants after they cross, a window of time in which the court system is supposed to determine whether or not they can remain legally.
Since then, the practice has expanded to include the entire border. The Department of Homeland Security had maintained that migrants released without charging documents would soon be given court dates at ICE offices in the interior of the country. It was not previously known that nearly 600,000 newly arrived migrants still remain at large in the U.S. without a clear path toward immigration proceedings.
McKinney also said it is hard for migrants who have not been formally entered into the court process to keep ICE apprised of their location if they change their address, making it harder to see through a case for asylum and harder for the government to keep tabs on migrants who cross. if it is determined the immigrant is from a country that is reluctant to take back the migrants. This is particularly true for the Cuban migrant population in Florida, the officials said.
Publicly reported data from ICE, however, shows that when migrants are enrolled in ATD and given court dates, they have a 99.4% rate of showing up to their first court hearing and a 95.7% rate of showing up to their final hearing.
