President Biden's executive order to curb the illegal alien invasion was nothing more than optically pleasing headlines before the September presidential debates. Just days after the order was signed, US Customs and Border Protection agents in the southern California sector received a memo instructing them to release single adults from all but six countries.
Fox News' Bill Melugin obtained an internal CBP memo sent to agents in the San Diego sector following Biden's executive order last Tuesday. The memo instructed them to release single adults from over 100 eastern hemisphere countries, except for six (Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan) deemed "mandatory referral" countries. This means despite the president's promise of stopping the invasion between border checkpoints, the majority, including Chinese, Middle Eastern, and African adults, are still being released into the US.
Here's more from Melugin:
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained an internal Border Patrol memo sent to agents in San Diego sector after President Biden's executive order took effect, instructing them to release single adults from all but six countries in the eastern hemisphere & classifying them as "hard" or "very hard" to remove.
Specifically, the memo instructs agents to process all single adults from 100+ countries in the eastern hemisphere as NTA/OR, which means "Notice to Appear/Release on Own Recognizance", except for six countries which are deemed "mandatory referral" countries (Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan).
President Biden & DHS promised consequences & removal for those who cross illegally between ports of entry after the executive order took effect - but the overwhelming majority of illegal crossers in San Diego sector, including the Chinese, Middle Eastern, & African adults we've been showing, are still being released into the US with future court dates, as our coverage has shown repeatedly with Border Patrol mass releases at a trolley station in San Diego.
In a background call with reporters, DHS officials acknowledged the difficulty of removing illegal immigrants from eastern hemisphere countries, as some governments won't cooperate with US repatriation flights/travel documents & won't take their citizens back
DHS officials said they are engaged with these countries and are trying to enhance cooperation.
Bottom line in the short term: Mass catch & release continues for illegal immigrants in San Diego sector, who continue pouring in from all around the globe.
H/T to @Anna_Giaritelli , who was the first reporter to scoop this memo.

Melugin continued.
NEW: Just spoke to senior CBP officials about this memo. I’m told this was localized guidance put out to San Diego sector only because of the unique countries around the world they encounter there, & this is not CBP or DHS’ guidance for the entire border. The CBP officials said…

Mass releases are ongoing, even after the order.
NEW: Once again, we witnessed Border Patrol mass release hundreds of migrants from around the world who crossed illegally. Dropped off at a trolley station in San Diego. When you hear DHS say “removal proceedings”, it often means released with a future court date.

"Voter importation," Elon Musk wrote on X, responding to Melugin's post.

Seems accurate.
The memo was first posted on X by Washington Examiner's Anna Giaritelli.

Last week, Biden tried to convince the nation that his executive action would actually do something to stop the illegal invasion, yet it was merely a lie as the flood of migrants will continue. One reason to lie to the American people is that Biden's polling data has been crushed by the crime and chaos spreading across cities as migrants pour in by the tens of thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands.
Trump called Biden's executive order bullshit. He said it was "pro-invasion, pro-child trafficking, pro-drug dealer."

Even Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius called bullshit on Biden's exec order in a note to clients (read more here: "Goldman Agrees With Trump That Biden's Executive Order To Stop The Invasion Is BS").
