Deport the illegals, but not illegal activity.
Trumpβs Immigration Push Diverts U.S. Agents From Drug, Money and Sex-Crime Cases
A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded. A Kansas task force focused on stemming the flow of fentanyl has been redirected. Highway checkpoints near the southwest borderβsome on roads long identified as major drug-trafficking routesβhave gone unstaffed.
The shift reflects a broader realignment in federal law enforcement. Thousands of federal agents once tasked with investigating drug smuggling, sexual exploitation and organized crime have been redirected to immigration enforcement under President Trumpβs second-term push to accelerate deportations, according to current and former officials.
The administration has set a goal of removing 3,000 migrants a day who are in the country illegally. To help meet that number, officials say, Homeland Security Investigations agents, Customs and Border Protection officers, Federal Bureau of Investigation officials and even the Postal Service have been pulled from their traditional duties to help track, detain and deport undocumented immigrants.
