ICE prioritizes deportations in 2021 and is targeting caravans

Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

the Department of Homeland Security of the United States (DHS) published its 2020-2024 security plan, which sets out deportation priorities that will be in effect until 2021; but those actions may change with the January 20 arrival of Joe Biden in the presidency.

It is reported that in 2020 alone about 104,000 migrants were arrested and others were deported 186,000 for various reasons: they exceeded the time of their admission period, to others because they stayed longer than they were allowed to enter with a visa or other immigration benefit, in addition, they violated their word of sALIR of the United States voluntarily.

It is expected that over the next four years, according to the plan, migrants will continue to be arrested and deported for the same reasons. To achieve this, DHS announced that it will implement some measures such as the use of biometric data. This will ensure that people do not stay in this country for longer than they are allowed to.

It was through Operation Broken Promise that operations were run in sanctuary cities to arrest those who had signed their voluntary departure, but still stay in the United States.

They were undocumented migrants with a criminal record.

DHS has set out to facilitate these repatriation processes over the next few years. If something DHS emphasizes is that in 2021 people who arrive at the border seeking refuge will be returned to their countries of origin, this in accordance with the agreements signed with several countries. “DHS faces the threat of massive land and sea migration movements from neighboring regions,” the statement says.

These movements are migrant caravans, and are the ones that are a priority a stop by DHS.
