Memos signed by DHS secretary describe sweeping new guidelines for deporting illegal

They are going to start prosecuting Unaccompanied Minor's parents who smuggled them here.... Damn

I know...crazy. And I was reading a lawyer thinks that instead of DHS instructing governors to use National Guard to round up people, they would leave the option open to each governor. That is only speculation at this point though.

They even ended Deferred Action for MAVNI enlistee/foreign nationals also (similar to DACA for but for MAVNI foreign students etc. who fell out of status due to shipping delays)

Starting to feel invincible here you guys, for us DACA's. Don't want to jinx it but seriously. If they haven't touched it by now with Sessions in play, I think we may have a fighting chance until something else replaces it.

Is this final? I just submitted DA for my parents.

That would be really bad. There would be massive protests.

They ceased the MAVNI specific DA's and went back to case-by-case/discretionary option only, which would be extremely tough to get. For your parents, I doubt it'll go through at this point, unless they come up with another plan.

What has happened to parent's of DACA recipients who have been apprehended by ICE? Do they just have to wait until a judge decides whether they get deported or are freed? I am trying to find an article, but I mainly just see DAPA stuff.

As long as they don't have a Final Order of Removal (or in a category that allows for expedited removal), the best bet would be to get a bond hearing. Then at least your parents can fight the order of deportation outside of the detention center.

DACA parents fall in 3 main categories.


1. Law abiding immigrants with no criminal records and no arrests

2. Immigrants who have been charged of any misdemeanor, criminal offense, committed a violent crime, or has final deportation order.

3. They have some type of legal status and have not committed crimes


Under the current directives, group 2 will be targeted for deportation.

Number one will not be targeted, but will be apprehended and deported if ICE finds them.

Number three will generally be fine unless they commit a crime, my guess is that it must be a severe crime. Note people who are LPRs have been deported with DUIs.


This is not official, but it is more or less what has been happening and what the word is around the block.


Note also that DACA recipients will not be targeted but may be detained if suspicious of crimes and could be deported if found guilty.


It is not 100% clear if DACA holders with final orders would be targeted. It seems not.
