A recently disclosed memo from U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement outlines a policy that allows for the deportation of certain
migrants to third countries when their home governments refuse to accept their
return.
According to thenationalpulse, the directive, which is
marked as effective immediately, was issued by Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.
Under the new guidelines, ICE can carry out deportations
with as little as six hours' notice in urgent or "exigent"
situations.
The memo outlines a process to address longstanding
challenges when some countries refuse to cooperate with removal requests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the initiative as a crucial
tool for removing individuals with serious criminal records.
