Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Morton, recently issued a Memo outlining guidance to ICE agents and attorneys on exercising prosecutorial discretion. Specifically, he stated that ICE personnel may exercise prosecutorial discretion based on certain factors, including how long an individual has been in the U.S., what the individual’s status has been during his/her time in the U.S., circumstances regarding the person’s arrival and stay in the U.S., the individual’s education while in the U.S., the individual’s family ties to those with lawful status in the U.S., the individual’s immigration history, the individual’s criminal history, and the Agency’s immigration enforcement priorities, among other factors. Director Morton also clearly stated that no individual has a right to prosecutorial discretion.
