DHS Issues Memo on Guidelines for ICE and CBP Enforcement in or Near Protected Areas

Posted on November 3, 2021 by sethlerner1964

DHS issued a memo on ICE and CBP enforcement in or near protected areas, stating that enforcement actions should not restrain a noncitizen’s access to essential services, such as food, water, or medical attention. The memo lists protected areas and exceptions to use of the guidance and is effective immediately.

ICE and CBP to stop using the term ‘illegal alien’ referring to immigrants.

Posted on July 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

On Monday, two federal government memos were issued stating that U.S. immigration enforcement agencies will no longer use the term “illegal alien” in official communications to refer to immigrants in the country. Specifically, ICE and CBP will discontinue the use of words “alien,” “illegal alien,” and “assimilation” from internal policy documents and communications with the public. Immigrant advocates have long condemned the use of these terms as a dehumanizing effort to draw a distinction between immigrants without the means to explore legal avenues of migration.

Biden to soon admit 250 ‘vulnerable’ migrants into the U.S. daily

Posted on June 30, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A DHS spokesperson confirmed that the Biden administration will soon allow up to 250 “particularly vulnerable” immigrants into the U.S. each day. This is an exception to the current policy that blocks most families and single adult migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Already, CBP has allowed roughly 2,000 vulnerable immigrants to enter the U.S. as they await their immigration hearings, according to the ACLU, which is challenging the administration in court to give all migrants that right. Immigrants considered particularly vulnerable include those who are ill, families with very young children or immigrants who have been threatened or attacked while they wait in Mexico.

Lawsuit filed against CBP for access to migrant 911 call data.

Posted on February 10, 2021 by sethlerner1964

immigration advocacy groups filed a FOIA lawsuit against Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seeking information regarding the agency’s policies and practices that advocates say are fueling the missing persons crisis at the border. Along the border, law enforcement refer 911 calls for emergency assistance to CBP when the callers are Spanish-speaking, a practice that effectively makes it the primary emergency services provider along the border. Advocates say this is at odds with CPB’s explicit charge as an immigration enforcement agency. The advocacy groups filed FOIA requests in 2019, seeking data relating to these 911 calls, but CBP failed to produce any documents regarding the request. The current lawsuit seeks an order compelling the documents.

Judge Bars CBP Agents from Conducting Credible Fear Interviews

Posted on September 16, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

Granting the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia barred CBP agents, who receive substantially less training than USCIS asylum officers, from conducting credible fear interviews for asylum seekers.

Undocumented immigrant activists face immigration risks in joining protests.

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The past week has seen protests across the U.S. in response to George Floyd’s death and against police brutality and systemic racism. In some cities, the protests were accompanied by “riots” and “looting.” Across the U.S., some peaceful protesters have been arrested, tear-gassed, and shot with rubber bullets. Undocumented immigrants, including DACA beneficiaries, have had to grapple with these risks to protesting, in addition to the risk that an arrest could affect their immigration status. On Sunday, CBP acting Commissioner Morgan said that the agency was supporting law enforcement against “rioters,” but also said that the move was not meant to enforce immigration law. One DACA recipient and activist named Máxima Guerrero was arrested in her car while leaving a demonstration in Phoenix, and was in ICE custody for two days. After a large community outcry, she was released by ICE.

A government watchdog reported that DHS underestimated family separations.

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

According to a new Inspector General report published on June 2, DHS reported only a fraction of the families who were separated at the border by CBP. The government watchdog found that at least 60 families were separated in May-June 2018, when DHS had reported only 7. These separations occurred at the height of the Trump administration’s now-ended “zero tolerance” policy. CBP took issue with the report’s suggestion that CBP separated families without regard to their health, safety, and reunification.
