Trump plans to scrap policy restricting ICE arrests at churches, schools, hospitals
NBC News ^ | 12/11/2024 | Julia Ainsley and Didi Martinez

The incoming Trump administration intends to rescind a long-standing policy that has prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting immigrants at or near so-called sensitive locations, such as houses of worship, schools and hospitals or events like funerals, weddings and public demonstrations without approval from supervisors, according to three sources familiar with the plan.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to rescind the policy as soon as the first day he is in office, the sources — who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the change publicly — said.

The move would be intended to boost ICE’s authority to arrest migrants across the country, and its speed in doing so, as part of Trump’s plan to carry out what he has said he wants to be the “largest deportation operation in American history.”

The policy preventing agents from making arrests in sensitive locations without approval started in 2011 with a memo sent by then-ICE director John Morton, and continued through the first Trump and Biden administrations. It was meant to allow undocumented immigrants to operate freely in certain public areas with the idea that doing so will ultimately benefit not just them but the larger community.

“Immigration enforcement has always required a balance. In the past, Presidents of both parties have recognized that merely because it may be lawful to make arrests at hospitals and schools doesn’t mean it’s humane or wise public policy,” Lee Gelernt, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, said.

“We don’t want people with contagious diseases too scared to go to the hospital or children going uneducated because of poorly considered deportation policies.”

If you are here illegally, especially if you are a criminal get out.

Personally I want it to be so bad that they face an unending hellscape of worry all the time. No place is safe as long as they remain here.

I literally want them so scared that they get ulcers worrying about the day that they will get caught. So bad, that they self deport to end their misery...

Church affiliate NGOs are the WORST offenders of aiding and abetting illegals in this country. They should pay dearly for their treason.

I hope President Trump plans to cut funding to the NGOs that are helping the illegals.

I worked at a newspaper printing facility while in HS. One night INS ( now ICE ) marched out about half the night shift in cuffs onto a white school bus. Apparently all were illegals. A lot of them spoke really good english...

Good. States don’t want to cooperate at all, then the feds are entitled to enforce the law even in places where it looks “unpleasant”.

There is normally a couple dozen illegals at the local Home Depot looking for work. Pretty easy to find them. All the freebies and checks that currently go to illegals need to be collected in person, making arrests pretty simple for awhile. .

I have always thought if we were serious about the war on terror that we would bomb any funeral of a terrorist, since all their buddies are there.

Where do you find illegal guns?

Duh, in a gun free zone.

Same deal here, there should be no zones where illegals get a pass.

Illegals are welcome to sanctuary.

They can find it going back to the place from which they come.

Any church harboring illegals should have their tax exemptions revoked.

A lot of black churches should have them revoked as well for allowing their church to become more political than religious.
