American President that of Donald Trump The administration announced Tuesday that it had reversed Biden-era guidelines that limited federal immigrant arrests near sensitive locations, including schools, hospitals and churches.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman rescinded the order on Monday, the US Department of Homeland Security announced. Huffman also issued a directive limiting the use of “parole” used by former President Joe Biden to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to legally enter the United States on a temporary basis.
Trump, a Republican, issued a series of executive orders Monday aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration and advancing his goal of illegally deporting millions of immigrants to the United States.
The Biden administration issued guidance in 2021 that limited immigration enforcement near what it called “protected areas,” replacing similar enforcement rules from 2011 and 2013.
Schools, hospitals and churches across the country have raised concerns about Trump’s mass deportation initiative, with some developing their own plans for how to respond.
