U.S. President Donald Trump signs executive orders in the Hall of Heroes at the Department of Defense in Arlington, Virginia, U.S. on Friday, Jan. 27, 2017.

In the past the agency, known as ICE, has bristled regarding federal privacy rules as applied to undocumented immigrants. Federal immigration officials have chafed under the restrictions, pointing out that other federal law enforcement agencies frequently release the names of people arrested or indicted. There was an internal administration debate on whether to roll out a provision ending DACA in Trump’s executive orders issued this week.
