I'll give you some other hints to. If it says they surrendered, then that means they were caught crossing illegally and surrendered to the CBP.
I didn't say everyone crossed legally, obviously tons of people do. The fact people in the article did cross illegally has nothing to do with the specific line of discussion you quote here. He claimed the process wasn't applied to ANYONE who did cross legally, which I replied with this article and "Jose" who did cross legally. Context of the discussion here is important because it's kind of gone all over the place.
Quote:After criminals killed his uncle and cousin and warned that he was next, José fled Honduras fearing for his life. He crossed Mexico with his 3-year-old son and arrived in mid-May at the Hidalgo Port of Entry on the U.S. border to claim asylum.
But even though he entered the U.S. legally at an official border crossing, where the Trump administration promised asylum-seekers would not be prosecuted or separated from their children, José was detained and had his son taken away, according to advocates who are helping with his case.
“When we went to the restroom, they separated me from my son. I asked them where they were going to take him, and they said they were going to take them to another place,” José, 27, said Tuesday through an interpreter in a phone interview. “I asked again, and they didn’t tell me — just that they were taking him to another location. I didn’t even get to say goodbye.”
