Some members of immigrant families who cross the U.S.–Mexico border illegally and seek asylum in the United States will be monitored and must abide by a curfew under a new Biden administration program, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE’s) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) announced on May 10.
The new “process” will impact family units—those who cross the southwest border with minors—who are apprehended and processed for the last-track deportation process known as expedited removal and who indicate that they plan to apply for asylum without being deported, ICE said in a news release.
