The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has rescinded a Biden Administration policy — which expanded upon a policy in place since at least 1993 — restricting immigration enforcement at or near certain designated areas, previously known as "protected areas" or "sensitive locations." DHS has issued a yet-unreleased directive allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to conduct immigration enforcement at these key locations using only their "common sense." The previously protected locations included churches and other houses of worship, hospitals and health clinics, schools, playgrounds, social services providers (including shelters and food pantries), disaster and emergency response sites, weddings, funerals, religious ceremonies, parades, demonstrations, and rallies. DHS is still constrained by the Fourth Amendment and cannot enter private residences or private property that is not open to the public without a judicial warrant (signed by a judge), but this new directive gives them much wider latitude to conduct immigration enforcement in public at locations core to civic life, education, freedom of religion, and public heath.
