Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued new directives to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers instructing them that migrants being in the country illegally "should not alone be the basis" for apprehending and deporting them.
"The overriding question is whether the noncitizen poses a current threat to public safety," Mayorkas wrote in a Thursday memo to ICE, according to the Washington Post.
Mayokas says the new directive, which goes into effect on November 29th, means ICE officers should not attempt to arrest and deport farmworkers, the elderly, and illegal immigrants who speak out at public demonstrations.
"Are we going to spend the time apprehending and removing the farmworker who is breaking his or her back to pick fruit that we all put on our tables?" Mayorkas said in an interview this week. "Because if we pursue that individual, we will not be spending those same resources on somebody who does, in fact, threaten our safety. And that is what this is about."

The "transformation" of the United States is accelerating and none of our representatives seem to be raising objections.
The American Experiment seems to be reaching the end and it appears to have failed.
Democrat Party versus the American people.
Again.
That is an unlawful edict.
He is not just setting policy. He is changing the law! If he wants the law changed he needs to go to Congress. If he cannot enforce the law as it now stands he should resign.
New $oro$ directive: Give every invader a BLM T-shirt.
They’re here to “protest”.

The borders are not closed or at least under control?
“illegal immigrants who speak out at public demonstrations.” -— Yet they go out of their way to persecute military who do the same.
Time for a posse and ridealongs with CBP agents. Make a citizens’ arrest to bypass this ruling.
Good God... a Cabinet head instructing his people to ignore the law! Who needs that pesky old Constitution and the oath Biden took to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Some “faithfully execute.”
They aren’t going to arrest illegals “who speak out at public demonstrations.” What if they are screaming “Death to America! Death to America!” Will THEY get arrested then? Of course, then they’d have to arrest “The Squad” of commiecrats.
Excellent point! I hadn’t thought of that.
My whole life I have been the eternal optimist, but I am serious when I say that the last 8 months, I am now seeing the half-empty glass rather than the half-full glass as my point of reference. Very sad state of affairs, indeed!
So they’re letting everyone into the US if they don’t appear to be a threat?........what nonsense is that! They’ve already broken the law in coming here. But then the US is no longer governed by law....certainly not immigration law.
I’m wondering how long it will be before US citizens go to the border in mass......at this point anything short of that the hoards are going to keep flooding in.
Yes. It should be.
Bring forth the deportation catapult!
It’s increasingly more likely that the citizens head to Washington DC and burn it down.
Will never happen.
