“Trump’s order said the government would maintain a “zero tolerance” policy toward those who break the law, but the senior U.S. official, asked to explain how the government would change enforcement practices, said Border Patrol agents were instructed Wednesday evening to stop sending parents with children to federal courthouses for prosecution.”

good riddance to bad rubbish.

Yeah Team!

It wasn’t clear to me how they could actually prosecute everyone just from a resource and manpower standpoint.

Was this not disputed by the DOJ?

No. Those referred for prosecution will be prosecuted. CBP is in charge of referring people to prosecution. They will no long refer them if they are families with children. Therefore the “zero-tolerance” policy remains with the DOJ, but those families with children will not be referred to the jurisdiction of the DOJ and therefore won’t be criminally prosecuted.

More brown people for Dover. Yay.
