I'd think if it was one of Trump's minions would have said so: "They can go home whenever they want!"
But there has been none of that.
They are the policy in the camps right now. However, and I can't remember where I read and listened to this, there were some bad experiences from immigrants with taking that option. Specifically, there were instances where parents took the option thinking they would be reunited with their children. However, they discovered that their children were still in the US when they got back to their country of origin and it has taken a lot of effort to get their children back, some are still engaged in the fight.
Stories like this have created an atmosphere among the immigrants that makes them reluctant to take the option, especially those that came with children.
