, ICE said Wednesday that it would shift its focus to “public safety risks.”
As of Wednesday, ICE said in a statement, it would focus enforcement on public safety risks and those subject to mandatory detention based on criminal grounds. For those who don’t fall into those categories, ICE “will exercise discretion to delay enforcement actions until after the crisis or utilize alternatives to detention, as appropriate.”
