DHS denies change of ICE strategy: ‘No one is off the table’
The Department of Homeland Security has denied media reports it has instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to stop arresting suspected illegal migrants who haven’t been accused of a crime, insisting “no one is off the table.”
The report was initially published by Daily Wire, who citing “agency sources” said ICE officers had been told to only arrest illegal migrants with criminal convictions or charges.
In a statement on X the department pushed back, saying: “This is false. No one is off the table. We will continue to arrest any and all illegal aliens that come into our path. Anyone in our country illegally will be arrested and deported.
“In an effort to protect American citizens, ICE has initiated a nationwide public safety surge in sanctuary cities where our brave officers will be targeting criminal illegal aliens—many released from jails by sanctuary politicians—including murderers, rapists, child predators, and gang members.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
