Trump administration promotes study that calls for long-term detention of migrant families.
The Trump administration is promoting the work of an external advisory committee that recommends the president issue an"emergency regulation" to allow the long-term detention of families arriving at the border.
McAleenan, who took over DHS after Kirstjen Nielsen was fired, was expected to testify for the first time in his new role on Tuesday before the House panel that oversees the agency's budget. Late Monday, Trump in a memo called on his staff to find a way to impose fees on asylum seekers and to ensure most asylum applications are completed in 180 days. He also called for ways to ensure people who enter illegally are barred from being able to work.
The advisory panel said this encourages more families to come -- even those without legitimate asylum claims.
