According to an email obtained by CNN, the Department of Justice has now ordered attorneys to use the phrase “illegal immigrants” instead of “undocumented immigrants.”
This is in reference to people who enter the country illegally, according to The Daily Caller, as reported through the email obtained by CNN.
CNN reports that the email says that “illegal alien” is the proper term to refer to people who enter the country illegally, according to the U.S. code.

“The word ‘undocumented’ is not based in US code and should not be used to describe someone’s illegal presence in the country,” the email read.
It also says that a person who is in the country illegally is to be described by the country of their origin.
