The federal government is weighing a “binary choice” policy: Undocumented parents can stay detained with their children or release them into a separate government shelter
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said his administration has no intention of separating migrant children from their parents.
The “binary choice” policy, as it’s being referred to in internal discussions, aims to deter illegal immigration by presenting migrant parents who are caught crossing the border illegally with a stark option: They can remain detained with their children indefinitely while they await a final removal order, or they can release their children into a separate government shelter where other relatives could take custody of them.
The senior administration official made a distinction between this binary choice option and the administration’s prior practice of forcefully separating migrant youth from their parents at the border. A second senior administration official confirmed the discussion, but said that officials in charge of immigration policy “presume relatively few people would choose” the latter option, in which parents would await their removal order while in separate custody from their children.
