Biden administration weighs plan to keep asylum-seeking migrants in Texas pending review

  • The Biden administration is considering a plan to require migrant families to remain in Texas while undergoing asylum screening.
  • The proposal would monitor families' locations through GPS tracking and facilitate quick deportation of those who fail initial screening.
  • The plan aims to address rising migrant crossings but faces potential opposition from advocates and officials in border states.
  • Recent months have seen increases in migrant families at the southern border, prompting criticism of the administration.
  • Texas Gov. Abbott has threatened increased bussing of migrants if the plan goes forward.
