50,000 migrants released into US without court date

Roughly 50,000 migrants had reportedly been released into the United States without court dates, and few have reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities.

In the unprecedented routine, which began after President Joe Biden took office, migrants are told to visit an ICE station rather than be ordered to appear before a judge.

Only 6,700 individuals who were suspected of crossing the border illegally between March and July have shown up at ICE field offices, while 16,000 people have skirted the 60-day window to appear before the government agency, a source briefed on the data from the Department of Homeland Security told Axios. Another 27,000 migrants have yet to visit ICE facilities, though they are still within the roughly two-month window to do so.
