WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Trump administration issued tough new orders Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) for a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigrants, putting nearly all of the country’s 11 million undocumented foreigners in its crosshairs. “With extremely limited exceptions, DHS will not exempt classes or categories of removal aliens from potential enforcement,” the memos said. In the memos, Kelly ordered immediate action to begin planning the wall. While Spicer said the policy could evolve beyond the DHS memos, there was no indication of what form those changes could take. “Secretary Kelly has unleashed an unprecedented witch hunt on millions of immigrant families,” said Angelica Salas, executive director for the Los Angeles-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
