President Donald Trump granted imprisonment rights to a variety of federal law enforcement authorities as he gears up for a promised mass deportation program.
The letter also stressed that the FBI currently has imprisonment power, though their use is unique.
The function of the DEA, ATF, U. S. Marshals Service, and other companies mentioned in the letter often overlaps with the immigration concern but not on a major scale.
One of Trump’s personal campaign promises was the largest imprisonment activity in U. S. past. To take this out, he would probably need to use more than simply Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees.
The letter is the latest of a burst of immigration movements that Trump has made in a dramatic turnaround from his father. He signed an executive order declaring a national crisis over the boundary issue, directing the military to help at the southern boundary.
Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses announced the rollout of around 1,500 troops to the southern borders, with plans to raise this entire to 10,000 later.
“DOD will begin augmenting its forces at the southwest border with an additional [approximately ] 1,500 ground personnel, as well as helicopters with associated crews, and intelligence analysts to support increased detection and monitoring efforts, ” Salesses said in a statement from the Pentagon. The first round of 1,500 more soldiers will bring the total at the borders to 4,000, a 60 % increase in active-duty ground forces, according to the Pentagon.
Border king Tom Homan boasted on Wednesday that he has already seen a big difference on the frontier since Trump took office.

“The greatest leader in my life, he’s up. Because in two days, the next 24 hours, full misgivings on the west border, 766. Compare that to the 10 to 12,000 Biden had at one time, ” Homan said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends on Wednesday. “ Only yesterday, in the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308 — 308 — serious criminals. Some of them were assassins. Some of them were offenders. Some raped a baby. Some were physical abuse of a child. But ICE is doing their work and prioritizing just as the senator said they would. ”
On Tuesday, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered federal prosecution to research and probably demand state and local authorities in sanctuary cities.
