New Rules for Migrant Detention and Return at US Border

While citizens are not directly affected, these changes could impact immigration policy and border situations.
Key points
Individuals arriving in the U.S. will not be eligible for release from detention unless removed or returned to a country.
Mandatory return of migrants to contiguous foreign territories if authorities cannot detain them or remove them to their country of origin.
Changes aim to streamline border processes and reduce the number of individuals admitted into the U.S. pending case review.
