U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to issue new guidelines to agents this week that could sharply curb arrests and deportations, as the Biden administration attempts to assert more control over an agency afforded wide latitude under President Donald Trump, according to internal memos and emails obtained by The Washington Post.
While ICE’s new operational plans are not yet final, interim instructions sent to senior officials point to a major shift in enforcement. “Generally, these convictions would not include drug based crimes (less serious offenses), simple assault, DUI, money laundering, property crimes, fraud, tax crimes, solicitation, or charges without convictions,” acting director Tae Johnson told senior officials in a Thursday email advising them on how to operate while new guidelines are finalized.
The Biden administration is attempting to reorient ICE, a law enforcement agency that has seen its priorities swing wildly from one administration to the next. But frustrated ICE officials say the proposed changes will take away agents’ discretion and severely constrain their ability to arrest and deport criminals.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki how it is in the interest of public safety to no longer deport illegal aliens convicted of DUI and assault.
Psaki was clearly ill-prepared and stuttered through her non-answer.

A draft memo said agents will be on a short leash, and that any arrests outside of jails and prisons require the approval of ICE’s director.
Agents who want to make an arrest reportedly must explain why it “constitutes an appropriate allocation of limited resources.”
Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas said Sunday that the new administration needs to find the right balance, according to Fox News.
“There are policies that we had under President Obama that I think we need to look at and implement,” he said. “And in fact … President Obama actually deported more people than President Trump did.”
“I support ICE,” he added. “I support the men and women that that are there. We just got to find that right policy.”
Bush League Republicans rejoice.
I wasn’t aware the executive office had a choice in those matters... doesn’t the LAW SAY felonious law breaking = deportation?
More votes for biden this way. And he can give them money and free health care.
Every illegal from Mexico or south of Mexico could be a walking Covid 19 Suicide Bomber!
Biden and his fellow Democrats are potential Killers via Covid by welcoming millions of illegal Mexicans into America.
The Latest: Mexico hits another record for COVID-19 cases.
By The Associated Press Jan 15, 2021 Updated Jan 15, 2021
Mexico posted a record spike in coronavirus cases on Friday, with 21,366 newly confirmed infections, about double the daily rate of increase just a week ago. The country also recorded 1,106 more deaths.
It was unclear if the spike was due to the presence of the U.K. virus variant, of which only one case has so far been confirmed in a visiting British citizen.
The country has now seen almost 1.61 million total infections and has seen registered over 139,000 deaths so far in the pandemic.
The country’s extremely low testing rate means that is an under count, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is closer to 195,000. So little testing is done that 8% of all those who got a test later died during recent weeks; normally, only people with severe symptoms are tested.
While Biden and the Democrat Killers are welcoming millions of illegal Mexicans, Canada is doing the following re Covid 19” Mexico:
Canada to quarantine travelers, suspend flights south!
Justin Trudeau said travelers will need quarantine up to 3 days in hotel at their own expense
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced stricter restrictions on travelers in response to new, likely more contagious variants of the novel coronavirus — including making it mandatory for travelers to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense when they arrive in Canada and suspending airline service to Mexico and all Caribbean destinations until April 30.
Trudeau said in addition to the pre-boarding test Canada already requires, the government will be introducing mandatory PCR testing at the airport for people returning to Canada.
“Travelers will then have to wait for up to three days at an approved hotel for their test results, at their own expense, which is expected to be more than $2,000,” Trudeau said.

So in order for Americans to be treated at least as good as illegals are under the joemala administration, we should all go and legally change our names to something that sounds un-American!
Note this
If true, the article says obama deported more people than Trump
And yet they screamed for four years about Trump deporting people, building the wall, etc.
And said nothing about obama deporting people at all
Proof their criticism isn’t policy based, it’s purely political and personal
They just refuted their objectivity, that they still attempt to claim they have today
will those involved in sex trafficking and baby rape
go directly to the WHITE HOUSE for a Cabinet position?
why would we throw out an upstanding person like that when we have all these nasty Trump supporting protestors who stood outside the capitol to arrest and deport? /s
These people are way too busy breaking the Law to vote
Why not put all of them inside that monstrosity of a fence around Biden’s big White nursing home. He can watch them as he gets his Pablum spooned out to him every day.
SMH
They only need the name and birthdate..
Don’t they have Motel 6 in Canada?
>>“Generally, these convictions would not include drug based crimes (less serious offenses), simple assault, DUI, money laundering, property crimes, fraud, tax crimes, solicitation, or charges without convictions,”
So cash transactions without paying taxes and wiring billions home is okay even if you’ve been convicted of engaging in this practice.
“...This is Biden’s America....”
Yep. This is what 80 million hard-working, tax-paying Americans all voted for. /S
As long as they are probable Democrat voters, the Biden administration will be welcome them.
Everything that this current administration does can be laid at the doorstep of the Republican party. They are complicit. Democrats AND Republicans went after Trump with hammer and tongs, leaving Biden and Harris untouched.
The daily rate in Canada should put you up in a high end Hotel.
True democrats..rapist,drunks,drug addicts and no doubt pervs ..just like clown chief of America.
