Just to be clear, “apprehended” means they were allowed inside the US. That’s what people need to know. Once inside they will stay inside forever. The media uses the term apprehended to create the impression they were stopped. But they weren’t stopped. They were given some paperwork and let loose.
They were stopped long enough to get Visa cards with $5000 already loaded, phone,’Court date’ in 2031, and even more freebies.
