Trump Administration issues tough guidelines for deporting illegal immigrants from US

The Trump Administration has issued tough guidelines to widen the net for deporting illegal immigrants from the US, and speed up their removal. The new guidelines issued last night, expand deportations to undocumented immigrants who have been charged with a crime, misrepresented themselves, pose a risk to public safety, or have abused any program related to receipt of public



benefits.
The enforcement memo issued by Homeland Security Department do not alter US immigration laws, but take a much tougher approach towards enforcing existing measures. The new guidelines allow Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport people immediately. Local and state law-enforcement officials will also be allowed to arrest unauthorised immigrants.
