U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a memoranda clarifying one of the factors in its assessment of whether to exercise prosecutorial discretion in a case. The family relationships factor includes "two adults who are in a committed, long-term, same-sex relationship." More specifically, they are relationships where the individuals "are each other's sole domestic partner and intend to remain so indefinitely; are not in a marital or other domestic relationship with anyone else; and typically maintain a common residence and share financial obligations and assets."
