Tony Pham, acting head of ICE, said that ICE agents have until October 16 to finish training on a new policy that allows officers to arrest and rapidly deport undocumented immigrants who have been in the US for less than two years. A federal judge blocked this policy in 2019, but in June the D.C. Circuit lifted the preliminary injunction.
