QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“There will still be people who are released at the border and put into immigration court proceedings to have their case heard because asylum is a legal process and the Biden administration has no more right than the Trump administration to simply deny people their right under the law.” "
– Aaron Reichlin-Melnick , policy counsel at the American Immigration Council [[link removed]]
