U.S. Is Now a ‘Sanctuary Country’ for Alien Domestic Abusers
Unacceptable, paternalistic, and dangerous
By Andrew R. Arthur on October 6, 2021
In an October 4 post, I analyzed a September 30 guidance memo issued by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that significantly limits immigration enforcement. Shockingly, one passage in that memo calls on ICE to make the United States a “sanctuary country” for aliens who engage in domestic violence.
As I explained in that post, this is the third such guidance memo issued under the Biden administration in just over eight months. Like the first, issued by then-acting DHS Secretary David Pekoske on January 20, and the second, authored by acting-ICE Director Tae Johnson on February 18, the Mayorkas memo restricts most ICE immigration enforcement in the United States under the guise of “prioritizing” the agency’s enforcement efforts to preserve its “limited resources”.
That is a load of baloney, of course, because each memo has required ICE officers to waste more resources figuring out whether they are even allowed to act against removable aliens (and in particular, aliens removable on criminal grounds) than they allow ICE to expend removing such aliens from the United States.
