US Issues New Order to Detain Migrants Without Green Cards

[KhaamaPress] The United States has introduced a new directive empowering immigration authorities to detain ~~migrants~~ colonists who have not secured permanent residency status.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has directed immigration officers to detain ~~migrants~~ colonists who fail to obtain green cards within one year.

According to a report by The Washington Post, the directive was issued in a formal memo to Customs and Immigration forces, outlining new enforcement measures.

Under the order, ~~migrants~~ colonists who have not completed the legal process for permanent residency within a year could be taken into custody while their immigration cases are re-examined.

Reports indicate that those affected may be held for an unspecified period until a final review of their legal status is completed.

Authorities have not disclosed how many ~~migrants~~ colonists fall under the new rule, but the measure could affect thousands, including some Afghan nationals awaiting residency decisions.

Immigration experts say prolonged detention may raise legal and humanitarian concerns, particularly for individuals whose cases remain pending without a final determination.

Following the 2021 fall of Afghanistan’s former government, tens of thousands of Afghans were relocated to the United States under special programs, many still navigating complex immigration procedures. # id) ?>

1 And here we thought the green card was the item that kept you from being detained.

I feel like if we are a nation of laws, maybe laws should be enforced without new directives to law enforcement to enforce said laws.

Call me old fashion.

3 ICE to spend $38bn turning warehouses into detention centers, documents show

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) expects to spend an estimated $38.3bn on a plan to acquire warehouses across the country and retrofit them into new immigration detention centers with capacity for tens of thousands of detainees, according to documents the agency sent to the governor of New Hampshire.

According to an overview of the plans, which were first reported by the Washington Post, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would buy and convert 16 buildings across the US into regional processing centers, each holding between 1,000 and 1,500 people at a time. Another eight large-scale detention centers would hold 7,000 to 10,000 people at a time and serve as “the primary locations” for deportations. Detainees would spend an average of three to seven days at the processing sites before being transported to the larger facilities, where they would be held about 60 days before being deported.
