The acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman on Tuesday issued a directive to employees at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection to make arrests inside those facilities and outside on nearby property.
“This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens — including murders and rapists — who have illegally come into our country,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”
