U.S. immigration and border officials will be able to arrest migrants at so-called sensitive locations again after the Trump administration overturned policies limiting where such arrests could happen.
Officers will now be able to make arrests at designated sensitive areas, including houses of worship, schools, and hospitals.
Later, the Biden administration expanded the regulation, further restricting the authority’s powers.
Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement and instead trusts them to use common sense.
The second directive reinstated expedited removal, allowing US ICE to quickly deport undocumented individuals unable to prove over two years of continuous residence.
ICE agents will immediately begin nationwide operations to arrest and deport undocumented individuals, as confirmed by Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, who did not disclose where the raids would take place.
“They’re going to do it throughout the country. We have offices throughout the country, and every ICE officer is going to be out there and enforce the law starting tomorrow morning”, Homan said.
