US EditionTrump calls for 20,000 new officers to aid deportations
- On May 9, 2025, President Trump instructed DHS to expand its workforce by adding 20,000 officers nationwide to strengthen enforcement efforts.
- This order followed the Department of Homeland Security's request to the Pentagon to deploy National Guard troops to assist with immigration enforcement.
- If authorized, the deployment would represent an unprecedented involvement of National Guard troops in directly enforcing immigration laws, even as illegal border crossings remain at historic lows.
- The administration also offers $1,000 bonuses and paid travel for voluntary departures and plans to reassign thousands of federal and state officers to boost deportation efforts.
- These measures aim to increase arrests and deportations ahead of the 2024 election, though data show mass deportations have not yet occurred.
