ICE Enforcement Allowed At Schools, Churches Under New Trump Policy
Daily Voice ^ | 01/21/2025 | Joe Lombardi

Federal immigration authorities now have the ability to arrest individuals in and around schools and churches — areas previously considered sensitive.

This new policy change involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, announced on the second day of the new Trump Administration on Tuesday, Jan/ 21 by Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman and represents a significant shift from long-standing guidelines.

“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest," Huffman said in a statement. "The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,”

The new directive reverses policies from 2011 and the Biden administration that restricted ICE operations in sensitive locations. Critics express concern that this shift could instill fear in immigrant communities, potentially discouraging children from attending school and individuals from seeking medical care.

Additionally, the administration plans to phase out parole programs that allowed certain migrants to live and work temporarily in the United States. Republicans have accused the Biden administration of misusing this program, which will now revert to a case-by-case evaluation.

“The Biden-Harris Administration abused the humanitarian parole program to indiscriminately allow 1.5 million migrants to enter our country," Huffman's statement said. "This was all stopped on day one of the Trump Administration. This action will return the humanitarian parole program to its original purpose of looking at migrants on a case-by-case basis,”

It was dumb to have schools and churches be enforcement free zones anyway, if for no other reason than such a policy makes these places more dangerous as magnets for potentially dangerous illegals.

“Churches” that aid and abet illegals should have their nonprofit status REVOKED.

Make Sanctuaries Sanctuaries Again!

Theses agents need to be armed with copies of any federal grants that any city, county, or state agency has received, and the same for any school. Walk in and show them the highlighted portion that states receipt of said grant requires compliance with all federal laws.

Explain to them that failure to comply will require complete and full repayment of all grant monies.

This should put them on their heels.

The Left is in shock that there are no sanctuaries for illegal activity.

If a murder is occurring inside a church or school, guess what law enforcement does?

This is the same Left who were perfectly fine with the federal government invading our bodies with the clot shot. They were prepared to invade private businesses and fine companies — and ultimately hust force them to fire employees — who would not take the witch’s brew.

School and medical in THEIR country, not ours, so simple.

Now, about all those NGO’s and “Charities” who have been aiding and abetting in this human trafficking?
Do we have the EO defunding them, revoking their tax exempt status?
