Illegal immigrants could be given as little as six hours notice before they are deported to a country other than their homeland, according to a new memo.
Todd Lyons, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and a top Trump administration lieutenant, issued a directive to agency staff on Wednesday, July 9, outlining the direction of deportations moving forward.
He said migrants could be deported to a 'third country' with as little as six hours notice 'in exigent circumstances' -- so long as the person had been given an opportunity to speak with an attorney.
Generally, an immigrant will be given 24 hours notice before they are sent to a country other than their homeland.
The memo states that migrants could be sent to nations that have pledged not to persecute or torture them 'without the need for further procedures.'
The United States has sent hundreds of migrants to Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama, while South Sudan recently accepted eight third--country deportees.
These deportees were from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Sudan and Vietnam.
A Biden-appointed judge, "Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong," has just declared the Home Depots, car washes, and other places that illegal aliens hide are safe havens that ICE agents are forbidden to enter.
She also ruled that before anyone can even ask about an illegal's status, he must first have a "reasonable suspicion" that he's illegal.
In other words: She's demanding that judges approve all arrests of illegals ahead-of-time.
President Donald Trump's administration suffered a blow on Friday when a federal judge concluded that federal agents had been "unlawfully" arresting suspected illegal migrants in Los Angeles and six surrounding counties.
Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, imposed two temporary restraining orders banning law enforcement from detaining suspected illegal migrants in the area without reasonable suspicion and insisting those arrested must have access to legal counsel.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek in a statement: "A district judge is undermining the will of the American people."
...
On Friday Judge Frimpong concluded there was "a mountain of evidence" that federal agents had been arresting people solely based on characteristics such as race, employment and accent, which she termed a violation of the Fourth Amendment that prohibits unreasonable seizures by the government.
Referring to some arrests in Los Angeles and the six counties Frimpong said: "The seizures at issue occurred unlawfully."
Two temporary restraining orders were issued by the judge banning federal agents in Los Angeles and surrounding counties from making arrests without reasonable suspicion those detained were in the country illegally, and requiring arrestees to get swift access to lawyers.

They're cheap for their illegal employers -- but expensive for the taxpayers who are forced to subsidize them.

According to data from the Center for Immigration Studies (pro-immigrant), many immigrants work for extremely low wages, which are then subsidized by taxpayers through public assistance.
The argument that "someone has to pick your lettuce" is dead; there is no "cheap labor" only corporate subsidies at our taxpayer expense. It might even end up being cheaper for businesses holistically when they are forced to pay actual market wages rather than depending on roundabout benefits.
???? 54% of immigrant-headed households use at least one major welfare program, compared to 39% of U.S.-born households.
???? Non-citizen households (e.g., green card holders and illegal immigrants) show the highest usage at 59%.
???? Compared to U.S.-born households, immigrant households show elevated usage in:
- Food assistance programs: 36% vs. 25%
- Medicaid: 37% vs. 25%
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): 16% vs. 12%
???? Illegal immigrants can receive benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, while children who are illegal immigrants themselves are eligible for school meals and WIC.
???? Several states provide Medicaid or SNAP to some illegal immigrants, and millions of undocumented immigrants with work permits (DACA, TPS, asylum applicants) qualify for EITC.
???? Removing low-cost programs like school meals and WIC from the analysis still shows 46% of immigrant households vs. 33% of U.S.-born households use at least one remaining major program.
???? Workforce participation is high: 83% of immigrant households and 94% of illegal immigrant households have at least one worker.
