Report: Trump administration returning to 'catch and release' strategy

Trump administration officials on Tuesday said they will release hundreds of migrant families and give them ankle-bracelet tracking monitors so immigration authorities could track their whereabouts, returning to the "catch and release" policy the president formerly vowed to end, according to a New York Times report.

The background: This comes after the administration failed to meet several court-ordered deadlines to reunite migrant children with their parents, and follows a judge denying President Trump's request to keep immigrant children in detention longer than 20 days.
