Currently, the federal government is enjoined from enforcing EO 14160; however, section 3(b) of the President’s order directs the heads of agencies to issue guidance to implement the EO, and the Supreme Court has now allowed that part of the EO to take effect. This document, consistent with the President’s direction, provides guidance about how to implement the President’s order when it takes effect for those children.
