The administration brought up the review of criminal history, the use of firearms and the recognition of family dependents, among others.
New rules enter the field of presidente Joe Biden with respect to actions to be carried out by the service agents operations and customs control (ICE, for its acronym in English) in the North American country.
The new rules would determine who can be arrested for immigration issues and who can be deported. On September 30, the changes were approved but took effect on Monday, November 29.
The efforts behind these new rules seek deport the undocumented that pose a threat to national, public and border security, in addition to people who have recently crossed the border without having enough ties in the country.
“The fact that an individual is undocumented should not in itself be the basis for applying the law against him“, he claimed Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and himself an immigrant who came to the country as a child from the island of Cuba.
The United States limits deportations amid a large influx of immigrants to its border
Currently the immigration authorities have the power to evaluate if a person committed any type of crime during the time they were in the United States, or even before reaching the town –if they have the information available–.
They will be based on the type of crime and the characteristics of the use or not of a firearm. A) Yes, the agent must decide whether or not you are a candidate for deportation.
Another element to emphasize is that if they are young or old and what impact their deportation will have on other family members who possibly have US citizenship. The rule is based on a claim made for years by immigrant aid associations. There are countless cases of deported fathers or mothers who left children who were born in the United States in that country. The immigration law indicates that a person whose child is a citizen of this country cannot apply for immigration status until the child reaches the 21 years.
Thus, The deportation of agricultural workers without a criminal record, who in past years were objects of persecution, remain off the priority list of the immigration department, both in Republican and Democratic administrations.
“Are we going to waste time deporting the farm worker who breaks his back to pick the fruit that we later eat? Because if we persecute that individual, we will be wasting resources that we could use to stop someone who does represent a danger to our nation, “reflected Mayorkas.
The draft of this new standard that was presented at the beginning of 2021 also indicated that immigration agents had to have the go-ahead from their supervisors to make decisionsThus, there would be greater uniformity in compliance with the standard. Nevertheless, the version approved at the end of September gives them the power to take their own actions.
Organizations that advocate for the rights of immigrants criticize him, claiming that they exist topeople with racist ideas who will not take into account the new norm. But, at the other extreme, from Mayorkas’s office, the change is explained by arguing that they trust ICE workers and that this will speed up the processes. (I)
