WASHINGTON, DC – Today, following reports that the Biden Administration is considering reinstating migrant family detention, Representative Lou Correa (CA-46), Ranking Member of the Border Security Subcommittee, released the following statement:

“The New York Times’ report that the Biden Administration may reinstate Trump-era family detention policies as a method to stonewall migrants from seeking safe-haven in this country is alarming,” said Ranking Member Correa. “As the Administration prepares for the eventual end of Title 42, it should be working in lockstep with Congress to fund safe, moral border security measures while ensuring our immigration system is humane, just, and safe for every family seeking our protection—not subjecting families to unsafe and immoral conditions.”

“We’ve pushed for the end of Title 42 for over two years, leaving the Administration with ample time to prepare for its ending,” Correa concluded. “This method of preparation, if chosen, is immoral and unacceptable.”
