EXCLUSIVE: Homeland Security plans to gut immigration enforcement arm
'Administrative abolishment' means less enforcement
The Biden administration might not need to abolish ICE. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has floated a plan to reorganize the federal deportation agency to the point where it’s not doing much arresting and deporting from inside the country anymore.
Mr. Mayorkas revealed his idea last week in a telephone meeting with agency personnel in Texas, according to several sources familiar with the conversation, who said he proposed taking members of the country’s 4,000-strong deportation force off the streets and converting them into criminal investigators.
They would no longer be focused on enforcing laws against illegal presence, which would have the effect of slashing arrests and deportations.
