WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman issued two critical directives to stop the invasion of the U.S. southern border and empower law enforcement to protect the Americans.
The first directive rescinds the Biden administration’s guidance on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforcement actions that thwart the enforcement of law in or near so-called “sensitive” areas. The second directive ends widespread abuse of humanitarian parole and returns the program to a case-by-case basis. ICE and CBP will phase out all parole programs that do not comply with the law. The following statement is attributable to a DHS spokesperson:
“This action empowers the brave men and women of CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and arrest criminal aliens – including murderers and rapists – who have entered our country illegally . Criminals will no longer be able to hide in American schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement and will trust them to use common sense.
“The Biden-Harris administration abused the humanitarian parole program to indiscriminately allow 1.5 million migrants into our country. All of this ended on the first day of the Trump administration. This action will return the humanitarian parole program to its original purpose of reviewing migrants on a case-by-case basis.
