DHS panel says border officials should be able to 'take photographs and biometrics' of children at border
A new report from the Homeland Security Advisory Council called for U.S. border officials to be able to"take photographs and biometrics" of migrant children as an"emergency regulatory action" to address the surge in arrivals of asylum seekers at the southern border.
Invoking a term used by former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen before her resignation earlier this month, the report said new measures must be taken to prevent child"recycling" at the border. The measure, the panel said, would"stem the recycling of children at the border and...rapidly determine the legitimacy of parentage claims."
The report asserted that while only 15 percent or less of family units are likely to be granted asylum after being given notices to appear, the long periods for asylum claims to be processed mean that asylum seekers can be in the U.S. waiting for up to two years.

Trump floats pardon for DHS appointee to follow his orderTrump’s latest threat on immigration is to pressure authorities into releasing migrant detainees into “sanctuary cities”. This is seen by many as an attempt to punish Democrats, and with officials in Trump’s own administration saying that the policy idea was “so illegal”, it was ultimately dropped. Trump also reportedly told the man who would become Acting DHS Secretary to close the border, and that he would pardon him if he were sent to jail for violating immigration law. Ari Melber discusses Trump’s latest attack on immigration and points out how pardons are for criminals.
