Spicer: Obama Administration Used ‘Different Set of Accounting’ to Count Deportations
(Image via Screenshot) White House press secretary Sean Spicer in an interview with Fox News’ Judge Jeanine over the weekend discussed the newly expanded power of federal immigration officials to deport illegal aliens.
He said that under the Obama administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “had their hands tied.”
Now, with the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines that expand the definition of which illegal immigrants can be targeted and deported, ICE has the ability to deport any illegal alien who’s been convicted or even charged with committing a crime.
“Under the Obama administration, ICE had their hands tied,” said Spicer.
