A set Department of Homeland Security memoranda released Tuesday reveal that President Donald Trump has declared an open season on the deportation of undocumented immigrants.
“The Department will no longer exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement,” one document says.
They also expanded Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s ability to perform expedited removals on people who have been living in the U.S. for up to two years. The U.S. will also prosecute the parents of unaccompanied minors as smugglers, according to the documents.
DHS directed ICE to hire 10,000 additional people to get the job done, according to one of the memos.
The document does indicate that the priority remains “removable aliens” who have been convicted of a crime or charged with a crime.
It does not, to the chagrin of many conservatives, suggest any changes to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
Advocacy groups were quick to denounce the documents.
“These memos are breathtaking in scope,” Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, said Tuesday on a press call. “They basically throw the rule of law out the window.”
The most concerning aspect is the ability to carry out expedited deportations, Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney, told The Huffington Post.
“You can now have people whisked away out of Chicago or St. Louis, anywhere in the country and there’s no due process,” he said.
But the organization vowed to fight.
