Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have launched a nationwide initiative to begin arresting illegal immigrants at their immigration and asylum hearings, Fox News has learned.
The effort targets illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. fewer than two years. The DHS strategy is to drop their immigration case, arrest the migrant, then place them into expedited deportation proceedings.
The initiative requires the DHS to drop the cases because migrants cannot be put forward for expedited removal if they have a pending case.
ICE sources who spoke with Fox News Digital on condition of anonymity say Americans should expect to see “a lot more” of these kinds of arrests.
The new policy is likely to lead to a spike in deportations of migrants who have not committed crimes aside from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. {snip}
