Trump now recognizes that his deportation policies have gone “too far” and orders a new approach

According to The Wall Street Journalwhich quotes officials under anonymity, the Republican has asked de-emphasize the concept of “mass deportation” y prioritize the expulsion of immigrants with criminal records, in response to the political impact of extensive and highly visible operations in several US cities that have gone around the world, something that worries the Trump Administration.

The change occurs amid changes in the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), following the departure of Kristi Noem, whose administration was marked by strong criticism for the tightening of raids and serious episodes of violence that resulted in the deaths of several people, including Alex Pretti and Renée Good.

Trump has replaced Noem with the senator Markwayne Mullinwho has promised a more coordinated approach with local authorities and has distanced herself from some of her predecessor’s more controversial practices.

Trump’s policy of sending thousands of immigration agents to Democratic-run cities reached its limits in January when a massive immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis led to protests and the deaths of two civilians at the hands of federal agents.

Since February 14, the Department of Homeland Security has had its funding suspended because Democrats in the Senate demand measures to support the delivery of funds

Among the proposals is that agents cannot go with their faces covered or that they need authorization to make an arrest or to enter a home.

Throughout this month, the positions have not gotten closer and the negotiation, in which the White House has become involved, has not advanced.

In fact, tension has increased between Democrats and Republicans, who accuse each other of hindering talks.
