What is the purpose of "Operation Streamline" in Border Patrol operations?

The purpose of "Operation Streamline" is to expedite the legal process for apprehended migrants. This initiative simplifies and accelerates the judicial proceedings for individuals who have crossed the border illegally, aiming to increase the efficiency of handling these cases. By prioritizing swift legal processes, Operation Streamline seeks to deter illegal crossings by demonstrating that there are swift consequences for unlawful entry. This approach is rooted in the belief that the quicker legal actions can be taken, the more effective they will be in discouraging future violations of immigration laws.

The focus on expediting legal proceedings underscores the importance of a systematic approach to border enforcement while ensuring that migrants receive a legal response to their situation. This operation contrasts with other options that might imply reducing resources or enhancing non-essential activities at the border.
