Separated families to reunite in the U.S

DHS Secretary Mayorkas announced that a handful of migrant families that were separated at the border by the Trump administration will be allowed to reunify in the U.S. this week. The four families will be the first to be reunified through a task force that was created by President Biden shortly after taking office in January. The families came from Honduras and Mexico, and some had been separated as far back as 2017. The executive director of the family reunification task force, longtime human rights advocate Michelle Brané, said the parents would be given temporary permission to enter the U.S. through a process known as humanitarian parole. Immigrant advocates welcomed the announcement, but expressed frustration at the slow pace of reunification.

Acting DHS Secretary McAleenan will stay in his position until someone is nominated in his place.

McAleenan’s resignation from DHS was announced 3 weeks ago on October 11. Since then, no one has been nominated to fill his position. When testifying before Congress on Wednesday, Acting DHS Secretary McAleenan told lawmakers he would “ensure a smooth transition” and, “if necessary,” stay on in his role until a successor is nominated.

Memo put out by DHS Secretary violates the constitution

Aligning the Department’s Privacy Policies with the Law. The Department will no longer afford Privacy Act rights and protections to persons who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents.  This is one area that is highly questionable. The DHS Secretary cannot simply state that a person who is not a resident or citizen will no longer have privacy rights. He does not have the authority to contradict the U.S. Constitution
