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.”
I guess we all know whose side he's on.....
Happy now, Dems? Your “Leader” doesn’t give a darn who he allows into your country. He told you this is what he would do. So, don’t pretend to be surprised.
His nonchalance about unemployable, America hating, diseased, illiterate terrorists waltzing through the border applying for welfare and free public legal defense was baked into the Progressive/Liberal Cake from the beginning.
Is there a shortage of law-abiding aliens who wish to live and earn an honest living in the USA?
Jill Biden won’t be able to celebrate Christmas in the Rainbow House if Joe is removed from office due to mental defectiveness.
Kamala’s backers are surely keeping a list of Joe’s defective decisions to ease Joe’s removal under Amendment XXV.
Conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens is a felony and threatening federal agents not to prosecute his pet constituency sounds like obstruction of justice.
The felon should be hauled out in leg irons.
I did a search of this on google. None of the major networks or newspapers have any of this. I believe this is why things get done because its done without Americans knowledge. 95 percent of the proposals being made will not be covered. Frustrating.
This is what Liz Cheney supports. Spread the word.....
We need LEOs on the inside to let the relatives of the victims know the time and place of the release of the felons. Most of them should have “accidents” shortly after their release.
Wonderful.
The law is whatever Uncle Joe Stolen says the law is.
Democrat Party versus the Citizens.
Again.
What’s an unAmerican-sounding name in a melting pot of legal immigrants from all over the world?
Let’s all (conservative taxpayers) chip in so he can live in the mansion next to Biden’s grand-kids. Or next door to Michael Moore’s mansion or John Kerry’s...
I’m sure Michael Moore’s white liberal elite neighbors would love a chance to be welcoming to true diversity... the kind inflicted on the rest of us.
And the rationale for keeping known and convicted non-citizen felons here within the national boundaries of the United States is -
Don’t hold your breath expecting to have any answer, let alone a practical or realistic response.
Antifa and BLM are the killers - not us. Maybe THEY should be told.
“Assault, Rape, DUI and Drug-Related Crimes” are considered political attributes by the Communist/Democrat Party, you see.
This is their base.
Federal law imposes the death penalty when conspiring to harbor an illegal alien results in another death. That’s going to happen over and over.
He is not committing a trivial crime.
What the "LAW SAYS" or the Constitution says is no longer relevant in the Traitorjoe Xiden kakistocracy.
The way it works now, whatever the Demonicrats do or say is legal; whatever opponents of the Demonicrats do or say is illegal. Past words and actions by conservatives can retroactively be declared illegal. Guilt is assumed unless the conservative switches sides.
Can we execute them instead?
