The Department of Homeland Security issued a sweeping connected with orders Tuesday that implement President Trump’s plan to raise immigration enforcement, placing a good many the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation.
The memos instruct all agents - including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - to identify, capture and quickly deport every undocumented immigrant they encounters.
The memos require undocumented immigrants caught entering the country to be used in detention until their cases are resolved, increase the ability of local police to help in immigration enforcement, desire the hiring of 10,000 more immigration agents and allow planning to begin on an expansion of the border wall between the The united states and Mexico.
The memos make undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of an offense the highest priority for enforcement business. But they make clear that ICE agents must also arrest and initiate deportation proceedings against any other undocumented immigrant they encounter.
