US EditionTrump calls for 20,000 new officers to aid deportations
- On Friday, President Trump instructed Homeland Security to boost the number of officers involved in deportation efforts by 20,000.
- This order came after previous initiatives to authorize state and local law enforcement to assist with immigration enforcement and encourage undocumented immigrants to depart voluntarily.
- Currently, Immigration and Customs Enforcement employs about 6,000 officers focused on deportations, and local officials recently helped arrest over 1,100 migrants in Florida.
- The planned increase would create a major enforcement expansion, though sources note challenges including unclear funding and logistical hurdles.
- If executed, the expansion could significantly accelerate deportations but remains uncertain due to operational and financial constraints.
