Unsurprising News: Trump Plans to Nix “Sensitive Locations” Policy

NBC reports that incoming president Trump plans to nix the current policy under which ICE will not conduct arrests at sensitive locations–churches, courthouses, schools, and the like. Trump plans to take this action “as soon as the first day he is in office.”

Here are the three prior memos regarding immigration enforcement at sensitive locations:

• This 2021 memo from DHS providing guidance to ICE and CBP regarding “Enforcement Actions in or Near Protected Areas”
• This 2018 memo from ICE regarding “Enforcement Actions Inside Courthouses”
• This 2011 memo from DHS to ICE regarding enforcement actions in “sensitive locations”
