According to this article on International Business Times, by Ted Hesson

“U.S. law enforcement officers will ask, when detaining immigrants in the country illegally, whether they are parents or guardians to avoid separating families under a Biden administration policy launched on Thursday.

The directive, an effort by President Joe Biden to reverse former President Donald Trump’s more restrictive policies, also allows for previously deported parents or guardians to return to the United States temporarily for child custody hearings.

The new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) directive replaces Trump-era guidance issued in 2017 that did not explicitly require officers to inquire about, or record, parental status or guardianship.”
