Under the plan, ICE agents would work with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers in “targeted operations” at land ports along the southern border. They would arrest people “attempting to self-remove” after being in the U.S. without legal authorization. Others would be processed according to their current immigration cases, the document states, suggesting they would be detained and face formal deportation proceedings.
