JULIO VAQUEIRO: Let's talk about immigration now. Important: Starting today no immigrant can be arrested just for not having documents.

ILIA CALDERÓN: The new deportation rules adopted by President Biden´s administration came into force today and its most important effect is that it prohibits deporting immigrants from the country because they are undocumented.

FELICIDAD AVELEYRA: As of today, ICE stops arresting and deporting immigrants just because they are undocumented.

EDGAR MUÑOZ: Immigrant workers are very vulnerable and that is why those who report their abusive employers and landlords will not be arrested either.

JAIME GARCÍA: Immigration lawyers say the new directives for ICE agents are consistent with President Biden's legalization initiative.

ALEX GÁLVEZ, ESQ.: We think there's going to be immigration relief in the future.

MUÑOZ: And so, Felicidad, being undocumented is no longer a requirement, a fundamental element, for being deported from this country. Back to you.

AVELEYRA: At least they can have peace of mind.
