Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) – The bill
includes $5.81 billion for ICE, $143 million below the FY2015 enacted
level. It continues support for enhancements provided in FY2015 and
includes funding for 34,000 detention beds, additional teams targeting
at-large criminal aliens and those who overstay their visas, and for
human trafficking and other domestic and international investigative
activities.

On June 15th, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano (click here) announced that effective immediately, certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria will be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings.
DHS is in the process of implementing this new guidance, known as Deferred Action, and will continue to update the resources below.
When immigration reform is finally passed by the Congress, the needs of ICE will drop dramatically.
Deffered Action is not a gift, unless, one is talking about the tax burden and national debt of the USA.
