The Trump administration has recently expanded the authority of immigration agents, allowing them to make arrests at previously protected locations such as schools and churches. This significant policy shift marks a departure from the Biden administration’s guidelines on “sensitive” areas, which had designated schools as off-limits for immigration enforcement agents.
Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman stated, “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest.” This move is intended to empower Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to enforce immigration laws more effectively and apprehend criminal aliens, including those accused of serious crimes.
