DHS \u2063will not be able to locate the vast majority of the migrants it released who gave invalid addresses, and it\u2019s questionable whether it will be able to\u200d find \u200dthe rest at the valid addresses they gave when they were released,&#8221; Mr. Arthur, a former\u2064 immigration judge, told The \u2062Epoch Times via \u200bemail. &#8220;There is a reason\u2063 why Congress, starting in 1996, required DHS to detain illegal migrants\u2014to \u2062ensure they\u200d would appear for removal hearings and for deportation. By\u200c ignoring that mandate,\u200c the Biden administration\u2063 is destroying \u2064all\u2062 credibility in our immigration\u200d system, and undermining our national sovereignty \u200band security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even in some cases where legitimate addresses were provided, some were used repeatedly. DHS released \u2062seven families, for instance, who listed a 3-bedroom home in New Jersey as \u200btheir address over just 70 days. A full 80 percent of the reviewed addresses were \u2062used at least twice\u200b over the \u206218-month period, with more than 780 being used over 20 times.<\/p>\n<p>DHS\u200c Inspector General Joseph Cuffari\u2064 was appointed under President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>DHS \u2064said that the immigration system is broken and Congress must fix it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even under those outdated laws,\u200d the department has improved how noncitizens are processed\u2063 and vetted.
