The memos instruct all agents - including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - to identify, capture and quickly deport every undocumented immigrant they encounter.
The memos require undocumented immigrants caught entering the country to be placed in detention until their cases are resolved, increase the ability of local police to help in immigration enforcement, call for the hiring of 10,000 more immigration agents and allow planning to begin on an expansion of the border wall between the United States and Mexico.
The memos make undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of a crime the highest priority for enforcement operations. But they make clear that ICE agents should also arr@est and initiate deportation proceedings against any other undocumented immigrant they encounter.
