US ends immigration arrests at schools, 'protected' areas
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. immigration authorities will no longer make routine arrests at schools, hospitals or a range of other "protected" areas, under new guidelines released Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security.

As part of a further effort to make immigration more targeted, agents and officers are being directed to consider the impact of enforcement actions on communities as well as "broader societal interests," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in announcing the new guidelines.
