Biden admin will review deportation of veterans and their families.
February 11, 2021
A White House official stated that the Biden administration will review the deportations of veterans and their family members. The move is in line with a DHS memo released shortly after President Biden took office outlining new agency enforcement priorities and kicking off agency reviews.
According to the memo, national security, border security and public safety threats would be prioritized for enforcement. When ICE agents and officers learn they have encountered a potentially removable veteran, they are required under agency policy to take additional steps to proceed with the case.
