An internal Border Patrol memo, obtained by Fox News, instructs agents in the San Diego sector to release single adults from all but six countries in the Eastern Hemisphere and classify them as "hard" or "very hard" to remove.
The memo was sent out after President Biden's executive order banning asylum for most illegal immigrants took effect last week.
