The Biden administration has started fast-track deportation flights to Central America for migrants who have been denied asylum in the U.S. after arriving at the southern border.
The Department of Homeland Security had announced earlier this week that such flights would resume, and on Friday announced that flights sending migrants back to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras had resumed and were conducted via"Asylum and other legal migration pathways should be readily available to those who need them, and this Administration is committed to fairly and efficiently considering asylum claims," DHS said in a statement.
Those removed are those who are judged not to have a valid asylum claim and who are not able to be expelled via Title 42 public health protections. The Biden administration has been removing most single adults under Title 42, but has not been expelling unaccompanied children or migrant families with children under the age of seven.
There were more than 188.000 migrant encounters in June, marking yet another increase in encounters under the Biden administration. It included a 25% increase in encounters of family units.The move marks a step for the Biden administration away from its emphasis on processing and releasing those coming to the border into the U.S.
