The Biden administration is considering reinstating detention centers for migrant families, among several plans under discussion in anticipation of a spike in border crossings, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Immigrant advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers have panned Biden’s turn to tougher border enforcement, showing some of the political risks for Biden ahead of the 2024 election.
“Family detention serves two purposes: lining the pockets of private prison companies and acting as a useless deterrent to prevent migrants from seeking their legal right to asylum,” Grijalva said in a statement. “This failed policy is callous and inhumane.” Because it typically takes twice as long for the government to process migrants’ protection claims, families were often released before their cases could be decided.
