Trump`s new deportation plan |
The Trump administration launched a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigrants, leaving nearly 11 million undocumented foreigners vulnerable to deportation. 1.According to new guidelines , authorities can detain and remove migrants considered a threat to national security as well as those seeking asylum with equal impunity.. The new rules outlined in the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memos make it easier for border patrol and immigration officers to quickly deport any illegal immigrants (or "removable aliens") they find, with only a few exceptions, principally children.2. Indian-Americans, who as per an unofficial count make up nearly 300,000 illegal "aliens", are likely to be greatly impacted by this.3. Even those immigrants awaiting a court decision on their status - like asylum applicants - will be detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. However, Mexican immigrants without proper documentation will be immediately deported.4. Any immigrant who is in the country illegally and is charged or convicted of any offense, or even suspected of a crime, will now be an enforcement priority.5. This is different from the earlier policy in that now, even those convicted of minor offenses - like shoplifting or running a red light - will be targeted.
