June 17, 2011: U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement Director, John Morton issues two memoranda providing instructions on the use of prosecutorial discretion. Prosecutorial discretion refers to the agency's authority to not enforce immigration laws against certain individuals and groups. The memos call on ICE attorneys and employees to refrain from pursuing noncitizens with close family, educational, military, or other ties in the U.S. and instead spend the agency's limited resources on persons who pose a serious threat to public safety or national security. Morton's second memo focuses on exercising discretion in cases involving victims, witnesses to crimes, and plaintiffs in good faith civil rights lawsuits.MEMO 1MEMO 2
