The Trump administration's immigration enforcement has intensified with the allocation of $170 billion towards border security and transforming ICE into a major law enforcement entity. The enforcement strategy has seen an increase in personnel from various federal agencies to support ICE operations. Tactics have evolved from targeted enforcement, focusing on specific individuals, to a broader approach in internal immigration enforcement. Despite its prominence as key policy, public opinion remains largely negative toward these immigration crackdowns and strategies being implemented without measured outcomes.
The biggest changes have been in the use of personnel from other law enforcement agencies, the change in underlying tactics, and the goal of what internal immigration enforcement looks like.
Thousands of federal agents, from the FBI, the DEA, the ATF, the Marshals Service, the Postal Inspection Service, and even the IRS's financial crimes investigators, reassigned to bolster the manpower of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Trump administration's immigration crackdown has been its signature policy, even as polls show it to be wildly unpopular.
The second Trump administration's approach represents a shift in targeting; it moves from specific enforcement against individuals to broader strategies in immigration enforcement.
