Do U.S. border law enforcement officers suspend the prosecution of immigrant families?

US President Trump recently signed an executive order to stop the "separation of flesh and blood" measures taken when arresting illegal immigrants on the US-Mexico border. Now, American border law enforcement officers have taken another corresponding measure. A US border security official said that he had suspended criminal proceedings against illegal immigrants who brought children into the country.

If American officials do not intend to separate illegal immigrants from their children, they will not be able to sue these parents because the law does not allow children to be held in adult detention centers.

In fact, this decision paved the way for the full restoration of immigration law enforcement measures during the Obama administration. In other words, when American border law enforcement officers catch illegal immigrants with children, they will submit a court summons to them, allowing them to continue on the road. It is reported that Trump has previously criticized this policy of "arrest first and then release".

White House spokesman Sanders said on the 25th that this was done because the United States did not have enough space to detain all immigrant families who crossed the border illegally. "We haven't changed our policy, but we just don't have resources." . Maclennan also insists that the "zero tolerance" policy is still valid.
