Migrant
families in detention will have more frequent case reviews to determine
if they can be released, Department of Homeland Security officials said
Wednesday. Women
with their children being held in three family detention centers will
have a first review after 90 days and then every two months after that.
The immigration authorities will no longer point to a general goal of
deterring illegal border crossing as the reason
for detaining women and children. But the authorities will continue to
place a high priority on deporting or detaining migrants caught crossing
the border illegally. Central American women seeking asylum and their
children have faced many months in detention
while their cases moved through the immigration courts. “The new policy
is designed to continually re-evaluate whether detention is necessary”
for them, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.
