Panama warns another 60,000 Haitian migrants are headed for US border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reportedly asked his officials whether the department was ready to handle the possibility of up to 400,000 migrants, nearly double the 21-year high seen in July, crossing the southern border in October.
53% : Others he instructed ICE to pass over are the elderly and migrants who speak out at public demonstrations, according to the memo obtained by the same outlet.
48% : It comes the same day Mayorkas issued extensive new guidelines on deportations to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
37% : It leaves little room for ICE to deport anyone other than violent criminals.
33% : US District Judge Emmet Sullivan gave the White House 14 days to comply with a September 16 ruling that decided the Trump administration's policy didn't give Biden the authority to block migrants seeking asylum.
33% : On Wednesday, Mayorkas' department tried to put an end to former President Donald Trump 's so-called 'Remain in Mexico ' policy combatting illegal immigration after a federal judge ruled last month that the move to end the program was unlawful.
29% : For migrants who've been apprehended by ICE and have committed crimes, Mayorkas said agents should consider a broad range of factors: How serious their offense was, whether they used a weapon, past criminal history and even when they arrived in the US or have a mental condition.
