Trump Grants Federal Agents Expanded Authority to Arrest Illegal Immigrants
U.S. President Donald J. Trump has authorized agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Marshals Service to detain illegal immigrants across the country, according to a new executive directive.
The move expands the scope of these federal agencies, traditionally focused on firearms, narcotics, and fugitive apprehensions, to include immigration enforcement as part of the administration’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration.
Key Details:
• Increased Enforcement: Agents from the ATF, DEA, and Marshals Service will now have the authority to detain and process undocumented individuals encountered during their operations.
• Collaboration with ICE: The agencies will coordinate closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to streamline deportation procedures.
• Border Security Efforts: This initiative is part of a larger strategy aimed at securing the southern border and tackling illegal crossings.
A senior administration official stated that the measure aims to “maximize federal resources and eliminate loopholes exploited by illegal immigrants.”
The policy is expected to face legal challenges from immigration advocacy groups, who argue it may lead to overreach and civil rights concerns.
