President Joe Biden’s order putting restrictions on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency will have a devastating impact on border towns across the United States, an analysis finds.
Biden’s order, issued by DHS on January 20, instructs ICE agents to only arrest and deport illegal aliens who are known or suspected terrorists, recent border crossers, or those who have recently been convicted of an aggravated felony not including those convicted of drunk driving, simple assault, and various drug crimes.
The order means localities that have historically cooperated with ICE agents in turning illegal aliens over to their custody for arrest and deportation will be blocked from doing so.

Delaying second doses of the Covid-19 vaccine so that as many Americans as possible can get the first dose is "not necessarily" what Dr. Anthony Fauci recommends, he said Wednesday.
About 70 per cent to 85 per cent of the US population should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before the country can begin to return to a sense of normalcy, top infectious diseases expert Dr Anthony Fauci says.
So far, less than 2 per cent of Americans have received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to data from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
Across the US, nearly 34 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered, with more than 27 million people having received at least one dose - or just over 8 per cent of the population. About 6.4 million people have received both doses, the CDC data shows.
