The Latest: Trump to discuss immigration ‘loopholes’ in NY
21 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s visit to New York (all times local):
11:35 a.m.
A White House spokesman says President Donald Trump’s immigration discussion in New York will focus on “loopholes” that he says help the violent MS-13 gang “infiltrate our communities.”
Spokesman Hogan Gidley on Wednesday pointed to policies such as catch-and-release, which allows immigrants in the U.S. illegally to be released from custody while they await immigration hearings. He cited lax asylum standards, the proliferation of unaccompanied children coming into the U.S. illegally and constraints on keeping immigrants in custody.
Gidley claims the policies “allow hundreds of thousands of illegal and unauthorized aliens” to enter and be released in the U.S.
Trump is being joined Wednesday on Long Island by officials including Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
