News Update
In a move to enforce United States President Donald Trump’s policy, the US immigration authorities have been granted the ability to arrest individuals at schools, churches, and hospitals.
This follows Trump’s reversal of policies that previously classified these locations as off-limits for enforcement.
The policy change ends more than a decade of restrictions that protected these “sensitive areas”.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” US immigration authority said.
Newspaper reports that the changes align with a broader immigration crackdown by the Trump administration.
Recall that upon his inauguration as the 47th US President, Trump signed several executive orders, including measures to suspend the refugee system, block access to an app used for facilitating entry into the US, and strengthen cooperation between ICE and local governments.
As part of this initiative, ICE agents are set to conduct nationwide operations to arrest and deport undocumented individuals.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed in a recent interview, noting that these efforts would begin immediately, stating that ICE officers across the country would be actively enforcing immigration laws.
Advocacy groups have voiced strong opposition to the new policies. The Centre for Law and Social Policy warned of severe repercussions for immigrant families, particularly those with US-citizen children.
The organisation expressed concern that the changes could deter families from seeking medical care, disaster relief, and education and may increase the likelihood of children witnessing traumatic encounters with immigration officials.
Religious leaders have also spoken out against the policy. During a sermon at an inaugural prayer service, the Episcopal bishop of Washington urged the administration to show compassion toward immigrants and vulnerable populations.
VAM News reports that President Trump vowed to deport alien criminals in the US.
Meanwhile, several democrat backed states have draged Trump to court over his immigration stance.
