Trump Expands Immigration Enforcement Powers Amid Legal Challenges

In a significant move, federal authorities are ramping up immigration enforcement by granting broader deportation powers to agencies including the U.S. Marshals, DEA, and ATF. This decision, made by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), enables these agencies to implement expedited deportations without the requirement of a court order, streamlining the process for detaining undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers. The swift expansion of these powers has ignited a series of lawsuits from immigrant rights organizations, including the ACLU, which argue that the expedited deportation policy undermines due process and civil liberties. As the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown on illegal immigration, legal challenges are expected to intensify, creating a contentious legal landscape surrounding immigration enforcement in the U.S.
