Trump calls for 20,000 new officers to aid deportations

WashingtoncTypeface:> US President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to add at least 20,000 officers to enforce his deportation policies. The directive forms part of the administration's plan to incentive undocumented immigrants to self-deport. In a video, Trump said he was making it 'as easy as possible' for them to leave the US. The federal government will fund flights out of the US for undocumented people who choose to leave voluntarily, and provide an 'exit bonus,' the executive order stated. The order did not specify how the increase in staffing at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be funded. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (Ice), the sub-agency that primarily deals with illegal immigration, currently has more than 21,000 employees. Of those, Ice has 6,100 deportation officers and more than 750 enforcement removal assistants, according to the agency website. Trump has long called for local and state law enforcement, as well as the National Guard, to assist with border enforcement. The order calls on the DHS to supplement it's current efforts 'by deputising and contracting with State and local law enforcement officers, former federal officers, officers and personnel within other federal agencies.' The president's call to increase staff comes as his administration pursues multiple pathways to force undocumented immigrants to leave the US. Trump has called for individuals to self deport, using a government app known as CPB Home. This week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced $1,000 bonuses and paid travel for people who leave the US voluntarily. Other deportation methods have been challenged or blocked federal courts, including Trump's use of the 18th century Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants it accused of gang activity.
