Immigration officers are restricted from making arrests at schools and hospitals. The new policy would include additional domestic violence shelters.
ICE agents work a traffic stop to detain an undocumented immigrant in North Carolina in January 2020.
While ICE officers have for years been largely restricted from making arrests at schools and hospitals, the new list planned by the Department of Homeland Security is expected to include additional locations such as domestic violence shelters, according to the source.The aim of restricting arrests at areas such as hospitals has been to avoid people fearing seeking medical care or dropping off their children at school.
The planned policy comes months after a memo limited arrests at courthouses and weeks after another policy that moved to stop mass worksite raids that became common during the Trump era. It also arrives as the Department of Homeland Security faces continued scrutiny for expelling thousands of Haitians from the southern border and a constant barrage of lawsuits from states.
In September, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas explained that the agency does not have the resources to target every one of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country and that many of those without legal status are contributing members of society. He issued general guidelines to ICE officers that told them to focus their efforts on “public safety” threats in the country and recent border crossers.
