Original Date Announced
January 31, 2025ICE Acting Director Caleb Vitello issued a policy directive (ICE Directive 5004.3) titled, "Stays of Removal and Private Immigration Bills." The directive states that ICE will now only consider a stay of removal in association with a private immigration bill if the Chair of the full Committee or Subcommittee of jurisdiction expressly makes a written request--a request for an investigative report will no longer be sufficient. It will be policy to not grant more than one stay for any noncitizen, the stay's duration will be limited to six months (subject to a single 90-day extension upon request and at the ICE Director's discretion), and ICE may revoke a stay if "derogatory" information is found. The guidance rescinds and supersedes the November 8, 2021, ICE Directive 5004.2.
