Border agents released more than 6,400 migrants without court dates before being stopped by court order

The Border Patrol has processed and released more than 6,413 migrants into the U.S. without court dates or the ability to track them since early Thursday, and 2,576 of those were released after a judge ordered it to stop the practice the next day, court documents filed Monday say.

In a sworn declaration, David BeMiller, chief of law enforcement operations for the Border Patrol, said the agency was aware the judge had blocked it from releasing migrants under a new policy known as “parole with conditions” that would allow border agents to release migrants without a court date and without the ability to track them if their facilities became overcrowded.
