The memo contextualizes this prioritization with data and analysis about the undocumented population within the U.S., the executive's discretion in this area, and the need to protect against civil rights and civil liberties abuses.

    Statement from Secretary Mayorkas Regarding the Supreme Court Decision on Immigration Enforcement

    After the United States v. Texas decision was released on June 23, 2023, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas issued a formal statement noting that DHS looked forward to reinstating the Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities as set forth in the Guidelines for the Enforcement of Civil Immigration Law he originally signed on September 30, 2021. He noted that the guidelines "had been effectively applied by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to focus limited resources and enforcement actions on those who pose a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security."

    The ICE Office of Partnership and Engagement subsequently circulated an announcement on July 30, 2023 reinstating the Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities. The ICE Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA) reinstated Principal Legal Advisor Kerry Doyle’s memorandum dated April 3, 2022 which provides OPLA attorneys with guidance for appropriately executing DHS’s enforcement priorities and exercising prosecutorial discretion.
