LexisNexis signed a $16.8 million contract to provide ICE with personal information on immigrants. The contract comes less than two years after the company claimed it was “not working with [ICE] to build data infrastructure to assist their efforts.” Mijente, a Latinx advocacy organization, shared LexisNexis’ Feb. 25 ICE contract revealing the company would provide DHS investigators access to billions of records that contain personal data from public and private sources. These sources include credit history, bankruptcy records, license plate image and cellular subscriber information.

ICE issued a new memo dictating the grounds for which people can be deported for the next 90 days. Officers will need preapproval from a senior manager before trying to deport anyone who is not a recent border crosser, a national security threat, or a criminal offender with an aggravated felony conviction. Republicans criticized the measure, and the party’s members on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees sent a letter to the Secretary of DHS expressing “serious concerns” with the memo. DHS officials said the new rules do not exempt anyone from enforcement or deportation but rather provide directions to ICE officers.

A plane carrying African asylum seekers due to take off from Alexandria, Louisiana was cancelled with minutes to spare after advocacy groups published affidavits by detainees of torture by ICE agents. The affidavits listed violent tactics that ICE officials used to pressure detainees to submit to deportation, including choking, beating, and forcing the asylum seekers to agree to expulsion by threatening them placement in Covid-19 wards. ICE cancelled the deportation “to allow any potential victims or witnesses an opportunity to be interviewed,” and it “will conduct an agency review of recent use-of-force reports related to individuals on this flight.” ICE was accused of similar abuse in October, but denied the claims and did not change its policy of accelerated deportations.

NBC News reports that President Biden is continuing to unravel the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies but has been unable to stop the deportation of hundreds of people, including a woman who witnessed the 2019 anti-Latino mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart store. An early Biden executive order placing a 100-day moratorium on deportations until an enforcement review could be done was suspended by a federal judge in response to a Texas lawsuit. But the ruling didn’t require ICE to schedule deportations.

ICE agents have been barred from arresting immigrants at federal courthouses in the Southern District of California, a practice U.S. District Judge Sana Sabraw found “degrades the administration of justice.” In 2018, Judge Sabraw granted a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s policy allowing Border Patrol agents to arrest immigrants at the conclusion of criminal cases. But under the Trump’s increased immigration enforcement, ICE issued a directive to its agents to conduct civil arrests on courthouse premises. Judge Sabraw’s order found “this practice deters parties and witnesses from coming to court” and “instills fear.” DHS did not comment.

Last Wednesday, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the government from sending 33 migrant children who came without parents back to Guatemala. The injunction was issued minutes before and ICE flight left for Guatemala City with the children. An ICE official confirmed that the flight left “shortly before ICE was informed of the court’s injunction.” The official said that ICE officers on the ground did not become aware of the judge’s order until the flight had landed and Guatemalan authorities were greeting the children, who remained in Guatemala as of Tuesday. The expulsion of the 33 children happening on the same day of the order could force the agency to bring back the children because it violated the judge’s decision.
