HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — Border events and immigration policies are constantly changing and evolving and can be difficult to follow.
In this special edition of Border Report Live we take a step back and explain the agencies behind the confusing alphabet soup of acronyms, what they do and how they factor into asylum applications.
Learn the difference between U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, and Border Patrol agents, where they patrol and who they arrest.
We dive into the various agencies that make up the Department of Homeland Security, and break down the immigration court system, which is a world unto its own. And we give an update on DACA and what’s happening to unaccompanied minors who cross the Southwest border alone.
Learn what Title 8 is and who qualifies for asylum in the United States in this special edition of Border Report Live that you can come back to again and again.
