The DHS Secretary said that “there are circumstances related to the administration of immigration laws of the United States that endanger lives, property, security or well -being of residents” in the 50 states. “In addition, I consider that a real or imminent mass influx of foreigners is reaching the southern border of the United States and presents urgent circumstances that require an immediate federal response,” he said. “Therefore, I request the assistance of state and local governments in the 50 states.” The decision is immediately in force and expires in 60 days, unless it extends.

As part of his finding, Huffman said More than 8 million illegal immigrants have entered the US through the southern border in the last four yearswhile millions more evaded detection. “In the last four years, our southern border has been invaded. Last month, the border patrol found 47,330 foreigners along the southern border, ” The report states. “While that figure represents an important reduction with respect to the peak of the last four years, it is still too high. To demonstrate, in that month, the border patrol released at least 6,920 foreigners on the southwest border, the vast majority of which are subject to mandatory detention. ” “Whether the figure is 140,000 and 6,000, this is not how our immigration laws are supposed to function. It is assumed that foreigners who arrive at the entrance ports or who enter illegally must be inspected ”, Huffman said. “Unless they have” clear and undoubtedly the right to be admitted, “they are supposed to be arrested until they are expelled or granted a discretionary exemption, such as asylum.” The new administration will prioritize the deportation of 1.4 million immigrants who do not qualify for legal status in the country.Credit: Customs Service and Border Protection of the United States, Rio Grande Valley Sector | AP While multiple factors can be considered to determine an influx, Huffman said that the magnitude of the problem was sufficient to reach that conclusion. “First, if the influx is not controlled, it is likely to increase. I have seen again and again that the lack of border control increases incentives for more foreigners to try to enter illegally, ”said Huffman. “Secondly, the introduction of unpremed with foreign persons – at least some of whom will undoubtedly criminally – has the probability of increasing criminal activity. Much of the illegal entries on our southern border imply other criminal behaviors, such as people traffic, drug trafficking and sexual assault, ”he added. “Thirdly, the law enforcement agencies, in particular immigration control agencies, face unusual and overwhelming demands. In particular, immigration control agencies are currently facing a shortage of detention capacity to comply with legal detention obligations. ” Resistance to federal functions by local authorities It is likely that Some states oppose efforts to help federal immigration authorities. On Thursday, the Attorney General of California, Rob Bonta, said that local and state authorities cannot be ordered to comply with the federal government’s immigration obligations. On Thursday, a coalition of Prosecutors from New York, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Vermont sent a joint statement in response to a memorandum of the administration of President Donald Trump making clear that The local and state governments of these states will not participate in the implementation of immigration laws. In addition, the Department of Justice is pressing so that Federal prosecutors investigate state or local officials to obstruct the application of immigration laws.
