L.A. Police See Drop in Latino Reports of Crime amid Deportation Fears

Among other things, one cable contains guidance for implementing Section 2 of the March 6, 2017, Presidential Memorandum regarding protocols and procedures for enhanced screening and vetting of visa applications. That same cable also directs working groups to identify “populations warranting increased scrutiny,” and orders a “mandatory social media check” for all applicants who have ever been present in territory controlled by the Islamic State (ISIS).
