The Biden Administration has been claiming that they are using Title 42 and the “Remain in Mexico” policy to expel single, adult males caught coming into the country illegally.
But Fox’s Peter Doocy grilled White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki after Bill Melugin’s bombshell reporting about single, adult males just being released into the country in multiple locations, including Brownsville and the San Antonio airport. Psaki acted as if she didn’t know what was going on, by saying they were acting in accord with Title 42, but then talks about “migrants who cannot be expelled under Title 42” being placed in “alternative” situations.
DOOCY TIME: Why is it that so many single men of adult age are released in the United States within hours of being arrested at the southern border?

Translation? In many cases, that means they have been released. They’re supposed to show back up for proceedings, but as Doocy explained, at least 47,000 of them just blew that off.
Doocy: “You mentioned…they’re supposed to check in at a local ICE office, but we know that just between large and August…DHS says more than 47,000…migrants that were given notices to report did not show up. So, why let them into the U.S. unsupervised in the first place?” pic.twitter.com/QUxCPRXTfK

The people who are let in despite Title 42 can include people let in because border areas are overwhelmed or their countries wouldn’t repatriate them. It sounds as though anyone could get in. This is basically all just smoke and mirrors.
Psaki’s response? According to her, there will be consequences. What consequences? We now know that ICE doesn’t deport illegal immigrants. It is all smoke and mirrors to justify allowing only single adult males into this country.
We wrote earlier on Thursday about the “hush-hush,” “down-low” flights.
But the newest videos from Bill Melugin further bust the Biden team’s fiction, where he notes there have been mass releases of single, adult males going on for months.

Even though some of them have criminal records, this is still a good thing.
NEW: An ICE source tells me the agency has been releasing some illegal immigrants with misdemeanor criminal histories, including assault, DUI, drug possession, & illegal re-entry.

So, instead of being enforcement and removal agents, now ICE has become travel agents — taking illegal aliens anywhere they want to go.
Guess who pays for it, by the way?
“We make contact with the family members and ask them for an address and to please buy a ticket (bus or plane). If they don’t, then the NGO buys the ticket and bills the government,” Melugin was told by the ICE agent. It is obvious that it will cost us money.
The source said the reporting only scratches the surface and that the mass releases have been happening discretely since February, that ICE fugitive operations teams are essentially nonexistent and that ICE Enforcement and Removal Operation (ERO) has become what the source called an “unofficial travel coordination agency.”
“Between [releases] and the vaccine mandate the morale is at the lowest,’ the source said. “Imagine going to the office to make phone calls all day to coordinate travel for someone who just came in illegally, some of them with criminal records.”
The Biden administration has drastically limited ICE’s scope for arrests and deportations, blocking worksite enforcement raids, barring agents from making arrests at certain locations and limiting enforcement to three priorities – recent border crossers, aggravated felons and national security threats.
As the DHS contractor in our earlier story noted, the Biden administration is “betraying the American people.”
However, remember that boundaries are not inviolable. If they are Ukrainian.
