Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have started to implement a policy that allows officers to arrest and rapidly deport undocumented immigrants who have been in the US for less than two years, according to internal emails and documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.
Currently, officers typically arrest immigrants and place them into deportation proceedings. These include a hearing before an immigration judge — a process that can take years. In practical terms, the expanded policy gives ICE officers more power to determine who can be quickly deported, although it’s unclear exactly how fast the process will be.
In an email to ICE employees on Friday, Tony Pham, the acting head of the agency, said that officers and agents need to finish a training course on the policy by Oct. 16, after which they can begin using the new powers to quickly deport immigrants. The email was first reported byA separate email obtained by BuzzFeed News indicates that ICE attorneys will initially review all cases in which deportation officers aim to use the new policy before immigrants are quickly removed from the country.
“In conducting their review of these cases, OPLA attorneys should be mindful of how a court would view the available evidence of physical presence in the United States,’ the email to ICE attorneys states.An ICE officer looks on during an operation in Escondido, California, on July 8, 2019. Undocumented immigrants who claim to be fearful of persecution in their homeland will be referred to an asylum officer for an initial interview, the guidance states. Undocumented immigrants can use bankbooks, leases, school records, employment records, or other materials to prove their presence in the country, according to the memo. If they don’t have the documents immediately, they will be given a “brief but reasonable opportunity” to get them.
