The Biden administration is making many changes to immigration policy.  One big change is the  elimination of the “zero tolerance” policy of the Trump administration.

Children can't be imprisoned with parents and other family members, so young kids were taken into federal custody — resulting in more than 3,000 children being separated from their families.”
