The Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman has issued two directives essential to ending the invasion of the US southern border and empowering law enforcement to protect Americans.
The first directive rescinds the Biden Administration’s guidelines for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforcement actions that thwart law enforcement in or near so-called “sensitive” areas.
The second directive ends the broad abuse of humanitarian parole and returns the program to a case-by-case basis. ICE and CBP will phase out any parole programs that are not in accordance with the law.
“This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens—including murderers and rapists—who have illegally come into our country,” said a DHS spokesperson on Tuesday. “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest.”
The HSI noted that President Donald Trump’s administration “will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement and instead trusts them to use common sense.”
The statement accused the Biden-Harris administration of abusing “the humanitarian parole program to indiscriminately allow 1.5 million migrants to enter our country.”
“This was all stopped on day one of the Trump administration,” said the HSI statement. “This action will return the humanitarian parole program to its original purpose of looking at migrants on a case-by-case basis.”
