The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday began rolling out
President Trump's plans for a wider crackdown on people coming into the
United States illegally.
The moves, outlined in a pair of memos signed by
DHS Secretary John Kelly, include an end to the policy of releasing
people caught at the borders pending deportation hearings, hiring
thousands more federal agents, sending more judges and officers to deal
with asylum claims, enlisting more help from local police and speeding
up removal proceedings for a larger number of people who are in the
country illegally.
The memos also recommend authorities seek
prosecution of parents who pay smugglers to bring their children into
the United States — decisions that will ultimately be made by federal
prosecutors.
