Biden administration prepares new rules placing stricter enforcement parameters on ICE
CNN
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to roll out new guidelines that would curtail enforcement measures, focusing more narrowly on immigrants who pose a national security, border security or public safety risk, according to draft interim guidance obtained by CNN.
The new guidance was prompted by an executive order signed by President Joe Biden shortly after taking office and marks a return to Obama-era immigration enforcement measures based on a priority system instead of the more aggressive approach taken under the Trump administration. The draft memo establishes strict parameters for ICE officers, particularly in the event that an undocumented immigrant is encountered in the course of an enforcement operation, and appears intended to restrain an agency emboldened under the last administration.More Related News
