New US Homeland Security Guidelines Allow For More to be Deported, Faster
US federal authorities will have much more autonomy and power in detaining almost anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrants and quickly deporting those in the country illegally under the new guidelines signed by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and leaked to the media this weekend.
The pair of memos for the Department of Homeland Security and sent to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and Citizenship and Immigration Services make changes to immigration policy across the board, including toughening asylum criteria, broadening categories of who may be deported and how quickly, giving more discretion to enforcement agents and eroding the privacy rights of undocumented immigrants.
