New Memo from DHS: Guidelines for the Enforcement of Civil Immigration Law

DHS just dropped a new memo: Guidelines for the Enforcement of Civil Immigration Law. It’s 6 pages long. Here are some highlights:

• There are three civil immigration priorities: threats to national security, threats to public safety, and threats to border security
• Immigration enforcement shouldn’t be a tool wielded by bad employers, bad landlords
• “the guidance leaves the exercise of prosecutorial discretion to the judgment of our personnel” (this is on page 5).
• This memo kicks in November 29, 2021.
