White House sources told reporters that Trump would announce a new immigration policy aimed at restricting entry to asylum seekers at the White House Thursday afternoon. But the president outlined the concept of "massive cities of tents" to "long-time, if necessary".

"We're gonna catch, we're not gonna release," he said, claiming that just "3 percent" of asylum seekers return for short hearings on their claims.
