ICE is planning to increase deportations of families who are in the U.S. illegally, acting ICE Director Mark Morgan said Tuesday.
While Morgan said the priority would be on people with criminal histories, he emphasized that no one is exempt from enforcement.
“This will include families,” he told reporters at ICE headquarters in Washington D.C., according to USA Today.
Families also make up a majority of the people apprehended at the border.
Morgan’s announcement, which comes during a sharp increase in migrants crossing the border, shows he’s aligned with Trump’s tough stance on immigration.
