It's really tempting to flowchart-oversimplify this, but it's worth reading this through at least once so you understand what is actually required!

I aspire to show you that nuanced is not an antonym of clear. Because the public has a right and a duty to understand immigration policy. Now .

On Thursday, the number of migrants in CBP custody dropped to under 25,000, according to internal data obtained by The Times, after hovering above 28,000 earlier in the week.
Government officials said they had not seen an influx of crossings overnight.

This is the real crisis - a humanitarian one. This is in an encampment in Matamoros, you can hear a baby coughing and crying for her mom from inside. These are the conditions that families with small children have to live in until they are lucky enough to get an appt on CBP One

CBP is holding people between the border fences. Outside. Without food. Instead of processing them.
These people came before last night. When finally processed, will CBP lie & say they came after transit ban was in place? Will they be barred from asylum due to US’ own cruelty?

We were there today and yesterday delivering food, blankets, diapers and warm clothing. These are human beings who have risked their lives coming to the US in order to ask for protection *as is their right under federal and international law*.

After more than three years, over two million expulsions and thousands of migrants returned to danger, this is how Title 42 ends in Nogales.
Not a person in line.

So to be clear, if these folks—who crossed before midnight—are booked after midnight, will they be recorded as “arriving” after midnight and subject to the new transit ban? It SHOULDN’T be that way. But WILL it? We may not know.

Migrants waiting to be picked up by Border Patrol are starting to take blankets and warm clothes left by people before them out of two dumpsters. It’s unclear when federal immigration authorities will take them for processing. #ElPaso

CBP facilities are already overcrowded. DHS is going to be holding some migrants in CBP custody LONGER in order to give them asylum screenings there. There is no world in which this does not exacerbate overcrowding in facilities that really can’t take it.
Remember 2019?

BREAKING: A federal court judge in Florida has BLOCKED the Biden administration from releasing migrants from Border Patrol custody without court notices under a memo signed this week.
The block is in effect tonight and will last for 2 weeks.
Expect the Biden admin to appeal.

How does the new asylum rule work? Well, back in February, @DLind wrote a great piece explaining How To Seek Asylum (Under Biden’s Proposed Asylum Transit Ban), In 12 Not-At-All-Easy Steps.

A thread on our reporting: The Biden administration is planning to replace Title 42 with a policy that is, in many ways, tougher — and I think that has been overlooked.
This rule will disqualify most non-Mexican migrants from asylum if they enter the U.S. without permission. 1/

CBP didn’t release details of the enforcement action. But sources told El Paso Matters that migrants without paperwork in two large camps get a short deadline to surrender to Border Patrol, with a likelihood of being released in the United States. elpasomatters.org/2023/05/08/cpb

Enforcement action will not be taken around so-called “protected areas” like churches or areas that would restrict access to essential services, as is common under CBP and ICE guidance. Full statement from DHS:

If you and everyone you are with have already seen Casablanca I highly recommend the Claude Rains Edit: only the scenes with Claude Rains in them. It’s not necessarily a better movie but it calls attention to some otherwise-easily-neglected delights.
Quote Tweet
Casablanca works so well because it's about a love triangle but there's also a 4th guy who would sleep with everyone in that love triangle and he is constantly saying some of the greatest lines in movie history.
