Last month President Obama ordered ICE to halt millions of deportations by Nathalie Rivera Staff Writer On August 18 President Obama’s adminis tration announced they would begin deport ing only illegal immigrants with criminal records. The White House was prompted to make this decision due to the high volume of immigration cases waiting to be reviewed. There are currently some 300,000 deporta tion cases pending in the courts that are wait ing to be individually examined. The White House deemed this action nec essary so that other issues concerning home land security can receive top priority. “From a law enforcement and public safe ty perspective, DHS enforcement resources must continue to be focused on our high est priorities. Doing otherwise hinders our public safety mission, clogging immigration court dockets and diverting DHS enforce ment resources away from the individuals that pose a threat to public safety,” said Janet Napolitano, secretary of the department of homeland security, in a letter expressing her support for the new policy. Under the policy, immigration enforce ment officials will be asked not to proceed in any new deportation cases of illegal im migrants without criminal records. In a memo sent by John Morton, director of U.S. immigration and custom enforce ment (ICE), he noted that ICE had a limited amount of funds to use for deportations. “ICE must prioritize the use of its enforce ment personnel, detention space, and remov al assets to ensure that the aliens it removes represent, as much as reasonably possible, the agency’s enforcement priorities, namely the promotion of national security, border se curity, public safety, and the integrity of the immigration system.” Because of the agency’s heavy load of de portation cases, they will use “prosecutorial discretion” which will allow them to exercise discretion with each case by weighing its cir cumstances. Under the new policy, ICE will be able to use their lunited funds for removing individ uals that pose a threat to the nation’s security.
