Measure eclipses Trump’s previous policies to curtail immigration by setting aside decades-old national and international laws

In this Nov. 16, 2016, file photo, a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent walks with suspected immigrants caught entering the country illegally along the Rio Grande in Hidalgo, Texas.A U.S. Border Patrol agent wouldn’t let Jackeline Reyes explain why she and her 15-year-old daughter needed asylum, pointing to the coronavirus.

The Trump administration has offered little detail on the rules that, unlike its other immigration policies, have yet to be challenged in court. The secrecy means the rules got little attention as they took effect March 20, the same day Trump announced the southern border was closed to non-essential travel.

The U.S. also is returning Central American children who travel with grandparents, siblings and other relatives, said a congressional aide who was briefed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials and spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was not intended for public release. Previously, children who weren’t with parents or guardians were considered unaccompanied and automatically put into the asylum pipeline.

“Obtaining and posting leaked information is a great way to degrade trust and communication between CBP and the media,” he said.

Anderson Cooper Reveals Why Trump Keeps ‘Hijacking’ Coronavirus BriefingsThe CNN host pointed out how Trump is using daily updates to 'cover up his own deadly dismissals' and campaign for reelection. CNN is complicit by airing the propaganda, as are all other media sources. The briefings should not be aired live and they should be fact checked before presenting any claims to the public. This site has turned into another socialist outlet like majority of MSM. Gone So did everyone. Especially the NYC health commissioner and mayor telling everyone to go about their normal lives and go to parades.
