Amy Maldonado, an East Lansing Michigan-based immigration attorney, said ICE has always been tough on enforcement and frequently crossed the line under past administrations.
“However, the culture at ICE has become malevolent in the Trump era, and now they’re off the leash under a president who has made immigrant bashing a centerpiece of his agenda,” she said. “I really don’t feel like that came from Kelly.”
On the other hand, Kelly did play dumb when he said there was nothing he could do in relation to the DACA, which provides protection to undocumented immigrants from deportation, Maldonado said.
Earlier this month, Kelly told members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that he was unsure about the legal future of the Obama-era program, when in fact he could have directed his staff to be more lenient with stays of removal, adjudicate fairly, and take immigrant’s hardships into account, Maldonado said.
“In the universe of things we need in the White House, another Trump lackey is not one of them,” she said.
And until his permanent replacement is picked, Kelly will now occupy an even closer space to Trump, feeding more uncertainty into the mix.
“Now that he’s with the president every day as his top advisor, what is he going to do with a question about DACA?” Essaheb of NILC said. “Is he going to refer to urge the president to refer to Sessions or tell the president what to do?”
