The interim secretary of the United States Internal Security Department, Benjamine Huffman, issued a directive on Thursday to give the Justice Department’s security agencies the authority to investigate and arrest unocuing immigrants in the US.
Agencies include the FBI, the Drug Encarcement Administration (DEA), the alcohol, tobacco, firearm and explosive (ATF) office, the United States Delegates Service and the Federal Prison Office (BOP).
“Today’s action enables agents of the Justice Department Law to help identify and seize foreigners who have entered our country illegally,” the department said in a press release announcing the measure.

In addition, federal agencies such as the Justice Department also intensified the repression of immigration, dismissing people in important leadership positions that supervised the country’s immigration courts and threatening to process state and local authorities that resisted the plans of the new administration.
