The Department of Homeland Security is laying the groundwork for a plan to transport recent border crossers by planeFlorida officialson Thursday after learning that the Trump administration was planning to release hundreds of migrants in Broward and Palm Beach counties each month.
Central American migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border must be processed before they can be released. Many make a claim for asylum, seeking the right to stay in the country to avoid persecution back home. There are no plans to detain migrants in the cities where they are released, the officials said. Officials in Broward County, Florida have expressed concern about migrants being released without “designated shelters or funding to house them, feed them, and keep them safe,” according to a statement released Thursday.
The CBP official said the plan to fly immigrants to cities across the country is a contingency"if the flow [of immigrants] continues to increase."
