I don't think Biden even knows what planet he's on
Biden administration halts limits on ICE arrests following court ruling
The Biden administration on Saturday halted its limits on immigration arrests to comply with a court ruling that took effect over the weekend, leaving deportation agents across the U.S. without any official instructions on which immigrants they should, and should not, detain.
In September 2021, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to arrest immigrants deemed to pose a threat to public safety or national security, and migrants who recently crossed a U.S. border unlawfully.
The rules, part of a broader Biden administration effort to reshape ICE's immigration enforcement functions, generally shielded unauthorized immigrants who arrived in the U.S. before November 2020 from arrest and deportation if they had not committed serious crimes.
But Republican officials in Texas and Louisiana earlier this month convinced a federal judge to set aside Mayorkas' rules on the premise that he lacked the authority to issue them. U.S. Judge Drew Tipton, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, also said Mayorkas' memo was improperly enacted.
Tipton agreed to pause his ruling to give the administration time to appeal, and the Justice Department asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to suspend his order. But the appellate court did not issue a decision on the government's request before Tipton lifted the pause on his ruling on Saturday morning.
In a statement to CBS News on Saturday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it "strongly" disagreed with Tipton's order, but that it was complying with it.
"During the appeals process, ICE agents and officers will make enforcement decisions on a case-by-case basis in a professional and responsible manner, informed by their experience as law enforcement officials and in a way that best protects against the greatest threats to the homeland," the department said.
