   After more than 11,000 migrants crossed the southern border on Tuesday, the   
   Biden administration is now preparing a memo that will direct Customs and   
   Border Protection to begin releasing migrants into the United States   
   without court dates or the ability to track them, according to three   
   sources familiar with the plans.   
      
   The Biden administration began releasing migrants without court dates to   
   alleviate overcrowding in March 2021, but had previously enrolled those   
   migrants in a program known as “Alternatives to Detention,” which required   
   them to check in on a mobile app until they were eventually given a court   
   date. The new policy would release them on “parole” with a notice to report   
   to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office but without enrolling them   
   in Alternatives to Detention.   
      
   The more than 11,000 border apprehensions in a single day marks a new   
   record and surpasses expectations of 10,000 per day predicted by Department   
   of Homeland Security officials on what could come when Covid-19   
   restrictions lift late Thursday.   
      
   “We’re already breaking and we haven’t hit the starting line,” one DHS   
   official told NBC News, speaking on the condition of anonymity.   
      
   Those Covid-19 restrictions known as Title 42 have turned back migrants   
   choosing to seek asylum more than 2.5 million times since the policy was   
   enacted in March 2020. The Biden administration is set to lift Title 42 at   
   11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, allowing more migrants to enter the country and   
   be screened for a potential asylum claim. The policy shift is expected to   
   draw more migrants and slow down processing times for migrants in border   
   patrol custody.   
      
   Already, CBP processing centers are holding more than 27,000 migrants,   
   according to the two sources familiar with the numbers, far higher than the   
   roughly 18,500 the centers are equipped to hold.   
      
   The decision to begin quickly releasing migrants in centers that are over   
   capacity is designed to alleviate overcrowding in those centers ahead of   
   what is expected to be a greater surge when Title 42 lifts.   
      
   “It’s a public health danger. We will start having people die,” said a   
   DHS   
   official about the overcrowding problem.   
      
   Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to a request for   
   comment.
