I disagree with the previous comments. DHS will decide who will be deported on a case-by-case basis, focusing on high-priority undocumented immigrants. We knew about this policy since the announcement was made. I think it is still good news.
In terms of this quote, "Many individuals who have violated civil immigration law but lack a criminal conviction are a DHS priority for removal from the United States," it refers to people who have been deported but have re-entered the US.
I do not intend to sound confrontational, but the announcement was good news. Bad news would be: DHS will not determine who will not be deported on case-by-case basis; Every undocumented person, if arrested, whether student, criminal, or non-criminal will be deported.
