Immigrants in the United States without proper documentation will no longer have to fear getting arrested at schools, churches, hospitals and a number of newly “protected” areas.
The Associated Press has reported that the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. immigration authorities issued new guidelines on Wednesday, Oct. 27, that was, in part, “a broader effort to roll back the approach to enforcement under President Donald Trump.”
According to a memo from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas outlining the policy, immigration agents and officers have now been directed to no longer make arrests or conduct searches at a range of sensitive locations “to the fullest extent possible.”
