ICE officers who endorsed President Trump in 2016 now say he has failed to follow through on his get-tough promises, saying catch-and-release of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. is not only still happening, but has gone into “overdrive.” Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers say they’re being roped into such mundane tasks as opening the doors on vans to release immigrants already caught by Border Patrol agents. That’s dragging the officers from their usual duties of nabbing fugitives, or scouring local prisons and jails for immigrant criminals who lived illegally in the U.S. ready to be deported.

Didn’t some Obama appointed judge overrode Sessions “stop “ on this?

Why aren´t they raising hell with the "federal judges" who keep throwing sand in the illegal immigration gears?

This along with "take their guns and then go to court" have dwindled my support at this point. Plus spending is WAY up over Obama! Trump has proven to be a con-man. He says one thing to make us all happy and then does nothing to stem the tide (invasion) on our southern border and now he supports some politician´s right to pass a rule or law or reg. that the police can just come in and take your guns without ANY concern for the 2nd or 4th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America???
Keep it up Donald and you will have Bernie Sanders elected in another 6 months!!! Remember Bush 1? Now New Taxes...yea...K...how´d that work out for that RINO??? You can fix this...but do you have the will and the smarts to get it done?

Catch & Release law should only apply to undersized fish. Sadly, this law also applies to illegals from “non-contiguous” countries. Under existing immigration law, and please correct me, the Trump Administration has to release these illegals into our country if they claim aslyum, and leftist groups from the US have made this clear to the caravans from Central America. PDT faces issue of ignoring a law passed by Congress, a Congress that won’t change this law or our other mad immigration laws.
AG Barr has to determine if the mass waves of asylum seekers that the law has produced is not what the intent of law is. He might then be able to issue an exception allowing the return of illegals to their home countries to await their hearings in our embassy/consulates. But a federal judge would rule this interpretation unconstitutional within 48 hours of issuance. Until Congress changes our immigration laws, which is unlikely, catch & release, chain migration and the visa lottery will continue unabated. Y’all come, ya hear.

For some reason, I smell fake news. I think there are things we are not being told, that affects the context of this story.

The ICE officers know who to blame for catch and release, and its NOT Trump.

Long before PDJT came into office, ICE and CBP agents and officers have had a thankless job thanks to Congress and previous Presidents.

The blame for this lays squarely with liberal judges and the liberal Democrats who want it to continue and cowardly Republicans who are too afraid to do anything about it in Congress. The President has made his position quite clear judging by the claims of racism and hate made against him every day. ICE should focus on the cause of the issue.

Yeah, I get the implication that they are now all supporting Bernie Sanders because President Trump has so failed them!!!!! Wet dream fantasy there, lie-beral media!!!!!!
BS!!!! They know President Trump has tried, and has been shut down over and over again by activist lie-beral federal judges, the Demon-rats in Congress, and, far too often, the spineless, cajones-less, Republi-can´ts in his own party!!!!!!

Right...and the alternative is a party that wants to have them eliminated entirely. Sounds perfectly credible to me...NOT!
