U.S. Customs and Border Protection will start releasing some families apprehended near the border in south Texas as detention centers fill to capacity, an agency official said Tuesday.
A CBP official cited the recent increases in border arrests as the reason for the temporary policy change, saying it was done"to mitigate risks to both officer safety and vulnerable populations under these circumstances." Agents expect to stop nearly 100,000 migrants at the southern border this month, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a speech this week.
