Important Takeaways:

• In her memo from last Friday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said she would like to use the IRS investigators to track down the financial dealings of human-traffickers who bring in illegals to take American jobs, according to the Wall Street Journal.
• This is not the first time DHS has reached out to other agencies and asked them to assign help to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation duties. In a previous memo, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms was also tasked with giving a helping hand to ICE.
• The IRS agents Noem requested have full police powers, carry firearms, have the power to arrest and detain people, and are a separate division from regular IRS enforcement officers and revenue agents.
• The directive enabled the DOJ to assign federal law enforcement agencies to assist ICE in its removal operations and Homeland Security Investigations special agents in carrying out President Trump’s promise to initiate the largest deportation effort in history.
• The DOJ then gave the U.S. Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Federal Bureau of Prisons the authority to investigate and apprehend illegal aliens.
• “Mobilizing these law enforcement officials will help fulfill President Trump’s promise to the American people to carry out mass deportations,” the spokesperson continued. “For decades, efforts to find and apprehend illegal aliens have not been given proper resources. This is a major step in fixing that problem.”
