Key Aspects of the Process:
- Target Population: Noncitizens arriving at ports of entry, entering by sea, or apprehended within 100 miles of the border within 14 days of entry
.- Procedure: A low-level immigration officer determines if the individual is inadmissible due to lack of documents or fraud. If so, an order is issued, usually requiring only a supervisor's approval.
- Exceptions: Individuals who express fear of persecution or torture, or intend to apply for asylum, are entitled to a "credible fear" interview.
- Consequences: Immediate detention, removal, and a minimum 5-year bar on re-entering the U.S..
- Proof of Presence: Individuals who have been continuously present in the U.S. for more than two years may not be subject to this process. Carrying documents, such as tax records, lease agreements, or medical records, can help prove this, notes the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
- Asylum Claim: Asserting fear of return is the main mechanism to stop the process and move into standard, but still fast, immigration court proceedings.
- Limited Review: There is generally no right to an administrative hearing or appeal, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

Sure, there's temporary visas and such but all done officially. Not just coming over because okay I'm going to go live in the US for awhile without authorization...
I WILL say for those who are decent and want to move here, the process isn't easy and I think it could be improved.
However, through some uhm, well under some, it's been just flooded for years with illegals and generally it isn't good people doing that... Lawbreakers or those that risk FEDERAL rule breaking entering another country generally aren't good people.
I would never. Would you? Enter another country without knowing the rules and abiding by them?
It's really not something I feel I can talk about freely here but there's a history to how this all happened and who didn't stop it, and it isn't only our country either...
I'm kind of tired of political intentional sh*t today. Not by you of course. You always look at the whole picture.
Out of control crime for instance.... And news will never report if itis an illegal generally that murdered and so on...
And I'm not anti immigration whatsoever. I LOVE some who come legally but I also have said and it is true, in many ways it's better in Mexico where some think it's better here... It's not ALL bad there any more than it is here...
Also, it's not just Mexico any longer by a long shot...

Yeah, migrants working in the agricultural industry were given a lot of leeway. Farmers can't make money without them.

An officer-involved shooting on Interstate 495 Sunday afternoon led to a full closure of southbound lanes in Fairfax County and left multiple people dead, according to the Virginia State Police.
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. - An officer-involved shooting on Interstate 495 Sunday afternoon led to a full closure of southbound lanes in Fairfax County and left multiple people dead, according to the Virginia State Police.
What we know:
The incident occurred on March 1 near Exit 52 on Interstate 495 southbound. Authorities said a state trooper was dispatched around 1:17 p.m. following reports of a road rage incident.
When the trooper arrived at the scene, he was confronted by a male suspect armed with a knife, police said. The trooper discharged his firearm in what authorities described as self-defense. The suspect was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries but later succumbed to those injuries. The trooper was not injured during the encounter.
Responding officers discovered four individuals who had been stabbed at the scene, according to state police. One victim, a 39-year-old woman, later died from her injuries. The conditions of the remaining victims have not yet been released. Authorities also confirmed that a dog was stabbed and died at the scene.
Preliminary findings indicate the stabbings occurred after the crash.

What's wrong with people?
Pride, selfishness, poor parenting, the list goes on….
Ultimately, though, if you don’t understand what’s wrong with them then that’s a good thing. Because you know that you would never hurt others!

CINCINNATI — A New York man was arrested on federal sexual exploitation charges after an investigation into a missing teenager in Colerain Township showed he had been involved with a minor, according to the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
The Colerain Township Police Department (CTPD) said the man, 43-year-old Kyle Lawrence, is believed to have had "previous interactions" with missing Colerain Township teenager Madison Fields.
Colerain police said Lawrence has not been charged in relation to 16-year-old Fields' disappearance on Feb. 13.
Court documents allege Lawrence said he stayed at Cincinnati-area hotels with someone referred to as "minor victim" on two separate occasions — Jan. 19 and Jan. 31. Lawrence said he picked the person up in a rental car and drove to the hotels on both occasions, according to the documents.
WATCH: What we know about Lawrence and his connection to Fields
Surveillance cameras showed the two entering Tru by Hilton hotel Jan. 31, documents say, and a receipt for the room showed it was rented by Lawrence.
Court docs allege Lawrence was reported to the FBI in May 2024 after he was confronted by a "citizen vigilante group" while in Canada. The docs say Lawrence was allegedly traveling to Canada to "have sexual contact with a purported 15-year-old girl."
The FBI's investigation found two cyber tip reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding Lawrence's Snapchat account and child exploitation activity, documents say.
FBI agents executed a federal search warrant at Lawrence's home on Feb. 26, 2026, and found child sexual abuse and material on his electronic devices, according to court documents.
Lawrence was arrested at his home in Buffalo Thursday and appeared in federal court in New York Friday. He's charged with transportation with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, travel with the intent to engage in illicit conduct and transportation of child pornography.
The investigation into Madison Fields' disappearance remains ongoing. Anyone with information on her location is asked to contact CTPD at 513-321-2677.

FARGO — Investigators believe Isadora Wengel, the West Fargo woman who went missing more than a month ago, was "heinously murdered” by her boyfriend.
"We do not believe Isadora is alive," Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski said Wednesday, Feb. 11, during a press conference.
Evidence suggests 21-year-old Joshua Alexander Hite, of Fargo, killed Wengel and disposed of her body, Zibolski said. Hite and Wengel had been dating since August, and she was staying at Hite's south Fargo apartment at the time of her disappearance, police said. Wengel was 24 years old the last time she was seen alive, and would have celebrated her 25th birthday on Jan. 8.
“We believe this to be a heinous and diabolical crime, and we believe there may be some dismemberment involved,” Zibolski said.

Hite was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of murder and evidence tampering in the case. He remains in custody at the Cass County Jail.
Police are still searching for Wengel’s remains, which could be revealed during the current midwinter thaw, Zibolski said.
Zibolski asked residents to be on the lookout for and inform the Fargo Police Department if they find a 27-gallon black tote with a red cover. Two such totes were delivered to Hite’s address, but only one was recovered when officers searched his apartment, Zibolski said. He said that the disposal of Wengel's body would likely have happened during "extremely cold weather with significant snow on the ground."
"We know at the time this happened certainly someone couldn't dig into the ground, so someone trying to dispose of something quickly might just cover it up with snow or put it in a low-lying area with snow, which could now be located," Zibolski said.
In a subsequent press release, police said the tote is 28.6 inches long, 19.6 inches wide and 15.2 inches high. Police believe the tote may be anywhere in the Fargo-Moorhead metro area or in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, specifically the Fergus Falls, Elizabeth, Underwood and Battle Lake areas.
TIMELINE OF ISADORA WENGEL INVESTIGATION
Dec. 31: Isadora Wengel was last seen by her father. Police had originally reported Wengel was last seen Jan. 5.
Jan. 7: Wengel is first reported missing and West Fargo police ask for public assistance finding her.
Jan. 9: Police begin searching a south Fargo apartment complex and the Fargo Public Landfill. A suspect, later revealed to be Joshua Alexander Hite, is detained but not arrested at the apartment.
Jan. 12: Fargo Police Chief Dave Zibolski says foul play is suspected in Wengel's disappearance.
Jan. 14: Police expand area of request for public assitance to include all of Fargo-Moorhead metro area.
Jan. 15: Request area grows to include Otter Tail County, Minnesota.
Feb. 10: Hite is arrested on suspicion of murder and tampering with evidence.
Until Wednesday, police released few details about the case. Wengel was first reported missing on Jan. 7. Police believe she was last seen Dec. 31 by her father.
Fargo police searched an apartment in the 4400 block of Calico Drive South on Jan. 9. Police said officers detained one person at the apartment but later released them.
At the time, the Fargo Police Department did not name that person, but Zibolski confirmed it was Hite. Zibolski said there was not enough probable cause in January to arrest Hite.
Officers also searched the Fargo landfill and expanded the search to Otter Tail County. Zibolski said officers have processed a “plethora of evidence.”
“This is a crime that is hard to imagine that someone could commit,” he said.
Public records show that Hite graduated from high school in Battle Lake in 2022. He has only one previous conviction in North Dakota or Minnesota, according to court records — for consumption of alcohol by a minor in Fergus Falls in 2024.
Last month, Zibolski said police suspected foul play, but officers did not have enough evidence until Tuesday's arrest, he said.
Zibolski called work on the case “Herculean.” Several agencies worked on the case with the Fargo Police Department, including the West Fargo Police Department, Moorhead Police Department, Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Fergus Falls Police Department, Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office, the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the FBI.
"We've gotten to the point where we were able to make an arrest, and we feel we have a strong case to move forward," he said. "We would really appreciate the public's assistance on this next piece. ... We're committed to finishing this."
Formal charges had not yet been filed against Hite as of midafternoon Wednesday, and Cass County prosecutors declined to comment on a timeline for any charges. Zibolski said if Wengel's remains are ultimately located in Minnesota, it is possible federal charges could be filed.
Those with information on the case can call the Red River Regional Dispatch Center at 701-451-7660 or send tips to the Fargo Police Department by texting the information with the keyword FARGOPD to 847411.
Zibolski said Wengel’s family asked for media to respect their privacy.

MARINETTE, Wis. (WBAY/Gray News) - Police in Wisconsin are investigating the death of a 24-year-old woman found in the woods.
The Marinette Police Department identified the woman as Gabriella Cartagena.
Cartagena’s family reported her missing last Thursday after a phone call with her mother.
The family reported hearing Cartagena say, “Please don’t shoot me. I’m sorry.”
Loved ones believed Cartagena was at Red Arrow Park with her boyfriend, Robert Chilcote. Police said they found what appeared to be a crime scene at the snow-covered park, including possible blood and signs of a disturbance.
During a canvass of the area, two witnesses said they heard arguing around the time of Cartagena’s disappearance.
The 24-year-old’s body was found Tuesday in a wooded area off Birch Creek Road in Menominee County, Michigan.
Chilcote was named a person of interest in the case and was taken into custody after leading authorities on a 16-minute chase that reached 100 mph. The chase ended when he lost control of the car while trying to avoid stop sticks.
The Marinette police chief said several firearms were in the car.
The 29-year-old is being held on $100,000 bond and is facing charges of fleeing and eluding and being a fugitive from another state.
Chilcote hasn’t been charged in Cartagena’s disappearance.
The Marinette police chief said investigators will take Cartagena’s autopsy results to the district attorney.
A relative says Cartagena had a 3-year-old daughter and the family is planning a candlelight vigil.
