Was there enough bed space in ICE detention to hold immigrants before deporting them? Would the agencies be able to continue placing migrants who do not qualify for asylum on a rapid path toward removal, or would numbers overwhelm the system and force agents to release migrants into the United States with court dates set years into the future?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The officials reiterated that the DHS has not yet seen a surge in migrants heading to the United States. But the concern was raised: If Donald Trump were to be elected, they would predict an increase in migrants trying to enter the country at the last minute, and CBP and ICE needed to be prepared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said &#8220;migrants should not believe the lies of smugglers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;The fact remains: the United States continues to enforce immigration law, and migrants should use safe, lawful, and orderly pathways to come to the United States,&#8221; the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">During the campaign, Trump vowed to deport <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/trump-considering-halting-federal-grants-police-decline-conduct-mass-d-rcna177541\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">millions of undocumented migrants<\/a> should he win election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As Tuesday night brought news of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/live-blog\/presidential-election-trump-harris-2024-live-updates-rcna178894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a decisive victory<\/a> for Trump, immigrants began to talk on WhatsApp, a common channel for smugglers to advertise their services to people in Central and South America looking to come to the United States. A common theme emerged among multiple users: The time to come to the U.S. is now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAfter the 21 of January he\u2019ll close the borders with extreme security,\u201d said one person on WhatsApp on Wednesday morning, referring to the day after Trump takes office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cUntil the 10th\u00a0of January there is a chance,\u201d said another, erroneously claiming Jan. 10 was the date Trump would take office, instead of Jan. 20.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cMy sister is still in Mexico. I couldn\u2019t sleep thinking of her,\u201d another WhatsApp user worried.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cHe takes power on the 21 of January. He can\u2019t make any decree yet,\u201d said a messenger. Another replied: \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of [time] left. He has the decrees already in his mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cYou have until January to enter,\u201d one person declared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The operator of a shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, where migrants wait before they enter the U.S., said he expects smugglers, known as coyotes, to pressure immigrants to start crossing now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cOf course, the coyotes will arrive, they are going to say that they need to get in before Donald Trump arrives,\u201d said Gustavo Banda, operator of Templo Embajadores de Jesus, which is currently housing about 1,400 migrants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Banda said there is a feeling of uncertainty among migrants at his shelter, but he tries to keep them calm. \u201cNo one knows what is going to happen,\u201d Banda said. \u201cThat\u2019s why you have to talk to them, that for the moment, absolutely nothing changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In another part of Mexico near the U.S. border, Francisco Loureiro, a shelter operator in Nogales, said he talked to migrants yesterday about the election outcome and their concerns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWe have migrants who are worried, who don\u2019t know what is going to happen now with their [CBP ONE] appointment,\u201d Loureiro, who runs the San Juan Bosco shelter in town, said, referring to the app that migrants can use to apply for asylum without entering the U.S.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The shelter operator said that he\u2019s aware of a recent caravan of migrants who left the Mexican state of Chiapas, an area that sits along the border of Guatemala, and have made their way to the northern part of Mexico. And while caravans like these are nothing new, he said, he\u2019s ready for more migrants to potentially head to the Nogales area before Trump takes office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">\u00a0\u201cI am fortunately prepared to receive more people, obviously within our capacity, but yes, we are prepared,\u201d Loureiro said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/national-security\/biden-admin-planning-possible-migrant-surge-trump-takes-office-rcna179013\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden administration is making contingency plans for a possible surge in border crossings ahead of a Trump presidency, as more would-be immigrants say they are concerned President-elect Donald Trump &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=122989\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
