    According to Reuters, President Trump's border czar Tom Homan announced ICE is working to lower its detention standards and defer to each state's own standards to increase the use of state jails for immigration detention. Homan spoke at the annual meeting of the National Sheriffs' Association in Washington, D.C., encouraging sheriffs to provide jail space.

    Section 10 of EO 14159, "Protecting the American People Against Invasion," called for DHS to take all appropriate action to establish contract to use detention facilities.
