Bipartisan panel recommends changes to migrant processing

-

A bipartisan panel called for significan­t changes in how the federal government deals with a surge of migrant families at the border.

In an emergency interim draft report Tuesday, the Homeland Security Advisory Council said the federal government should immediatel­y establish three or four regional processing centers near the southwest border, where migrant families would be housed, receive medical care, go through immigratio­n screening and have their asylum cases heard by judges.
