  • Donald Trump's incoming administration plans to scrap a long-standing policy keeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting immigrants at churches, hospitals and family events without approval from supervisors.

The article from MSN discusses a report by The New York Times indicating that former President Donald Trump, if re-elected, plans to end the policy that restricts Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from making arrests at sensitive locations like churches, hospitals, and schools. This policy, known as the "sensitive locations" policy, was initially put in place to ensure that immigrants could access essential services without fear of arrest. Trump's intention to reverse this policy is part of a broader strategy to intensify immigration enforcement, which also includes expanding expedited removals and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Critics argue that this move could deter immigrants from seeking necessary medical care or education, potentially endangering lives and disrupting community trust.
