CHICAGO (AP) — Federal immigration agents will end mass workplace arrests of immigrant employees suspected of living in the U.S. without legal permission, according to a memo issued Tuesday by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Instead, the focus will shift to pursuing “unscrupulous employers who exploit the vulnerability of undocumented workers” and emphasize fighting worker abuse including paying substandard wages, unsafe working conditions and human trafficking.
The three-page memo directs the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and Citizenship and Immigration Services to draw up a plan within two months to increase employer penalties, encourage workers to report unscrupulous practices without fear and coordinate with other agencies, such as the Department of Labor.
Mass worksite raids were common under former President Donald Trump, including a 2019 operation targeting Mississippi chicken plants, the largest such operation in over a decade. Trump and other Republican presidents defended raids as strong deterrents against illegal immigration, while workers groups called them unfair and discriminatory. For instance, most of the 680 workers arrested at chicken plants run by companies including Illinois-based Koch Foods were Latino.
Along with ending mass worksite arrests, Mayorkas said immigration authorities should also immediately start using “prosecutorial discretion” when it comes to encouraging workers to speak up about workplace exploitation and preventing employers from using retaliatory threats of deportation.

ICE’s new mission is to protect illegal aliens from their employers......(I wish this was sarcasm)
There is no law.
Time to start living that truth.
L
As long as they still deport the illegal aliens......
It’s not like it worked anyway. R’s and D’s don’t care about businesses using illegal labor.
No one will deported.
Are any of you upset over an unelected senile old man is giving orders that do not make sense and they destroy our nation.
D0 any of you have an answer to getting this commie dictator out of the oval office and our elected President back in?
Do any of you wonder how in the world this happened and why in the world hasn’t someone who can at least start it.. not gone forward to get him out?
I can’t wait till 24.. this nation can’t wait till 24 ... and if he is still there in 24, there won’t be an honest election ever again... we will live under dictatorship.
you remember obama saying he was going to fundamentally transform this nation.. and he lives walking distance from the government center.. he has not one good thing about him.. and he is not American and does not believe in a Christian nation!
I can’t stand that barry.... he must be pure evil.. for he turns on the anger and distaste at the name ...
No. But biden is breaking into the houses of innocent people who belong to conservative organizations.
I used to live in a country called the United States but it no longer exists.
This is the most lawless administration ever to darken the Whitehouse.
He must be impeached come 2022. Yes, I know he won’t be removed, but impeach him nevertheless they must for not faithfully enforcing the laws of the United States.
I can’t wait till 24.. this nation can’t wait till 24 ... and if he is still there in 24, there won’t be an honest election ever again... we will live under dictatorship.

If FJB’s $5.5 trillion BBB bill passes, so does the Federalization of US elections and makes mail in ballots legal everywhere. That will end honest elections - no need to wait until 2024. 2022 will decide which Democrat Dictator For Life will lead the way forward into tyranny.
Honest elections ended in 2020. So long as nothing is done, and thus far, nothing has been done, the ballot box no longer works.
Hey, Illegals, say goodbye to that job you had when they looked the other way because you were here illegally.
Note to businesses: You hire illegals at your own risk. One dispute, one snitch, one person with a bone to pick, and YOU will arrested, not the illegals you wink at and hire.
In other news - workplace raids of Republicans and conservatives and other dissidents will be stepped up.
No kidding. Dems need new voters.
Not any more.
true, but to be technical, they actually ended in 1960 with the heavy hand of Mayor Daley's dead voters in the Noxious Nixon vs Clever Kennedy.Yep if nothing is done by all these armchair generals and fair-weather patriots, then who?

The FBI is now strictly an organization of political operatives. The may be enforcing something, but it's not the law.
Is any one seeing a pattern ?
Is it just me ?
Cuz it looks like every scumbag, in every fed agency, dept. and elected office,,, is..being told to..
...purposely
Not Do Their Jobs ?
Like they are all trying to
OUT RESIST
each other
to earn a higher spot in the Communist utopia, upon the completed controlled demolition of our Constitutional Republic ?
( while they study the
“ America is Racist”
and
“ what gender am I today ?”
training manuals all day)
. smh
