Trump scraps guidance limiting immigration arrests near sensitive locations

22/1/2025 6:51

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday announced that it had rolled back Biden-era guidance that limited federal immigration arrests

near sensitive locations, including schools, hospitals and churches.



Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman rescinded the order on Monday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said. Huffman also issued a directive limiting the use of "parole" that former President Joe Biden employed to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter the U.S. legally on a temporary basis.



Trump, a Republican, issued a raft of executive orders on Monday that aim to clamp down on illegal immigration and advance his goal of deporting millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
