Looks like Donald Trump figured out how to spend all that money he’s cut from things like food stamps, education, and medical research. According to a DHS report obtained by the Washington Post, Trump plans on ramping up his deportation force as part of the administration’s ongoing effort to sweep up as many of the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants as possible:
The Trump administration is quickly identifying ways to assemble the nationwide deportation force that President Trump promised on the campaign trail as he railed against the dangers posed by illegal immigration.
An internal Department of Homeland Security assessment obtained by The Washington Post shows the agency has already found 33,000 more detention beds to house undocumented immigrants, opened discussions with dozens of local police forces that could be empowered with enforcement authority and identified where construction of Trump’s border wall could begin.
According to the assessment, Trump also wants to “speed up the hiring of hundreds of new Customs and Border Patrol officers” by “ending polygraph and physical fitness tests in some cases, according to the documents.” But an independent review in 2014 found that immigration officers have acted recklessly in their jobs, confirming that agents “have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers.”
Sure, let’s give immigration agents less training. What could go wrong?
