Arizona and Montana attorneys general are asking a judge to order the Biden administration to stop abiding by guidance that narrowed which illegal immigrants should be deported, leading to a new record-low number of deportations in April.
In interim guidance issued in February, acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Tae Johnson ordered agents only to focus on deporting illegal immigrants presumed to be priorities linked to national security, border security, or public safety.
