ICE says it will not conduct immigration enforcement operations in affected areas during Hurricane Dorian

A spokesman for the federal agency said in a statement Friday that 'we must stand as one community to focus on aiding the victims.'

WASHINGTON -- As Hurricane Dorian moves towards Florida, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Friday in a statement provided to USA TODAY that “despite false rumors to the contrary, ICE does not conduct immigration enforcement operations at hurricane evacuation sites or shelters, such as during and immediately after hurricanes.”

And ICE used the same approach during Hurricane Florence last year, and hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017. The hurricane center said"Dorian is likely to remain an extremely dangerous hurricane while it moves near the northwestern Bahamas and approaches the Florida peninsula through the weekend."
