The recent launch of “Operation At Large,” an ICE-led plan to ramp up arrests of unauthorized immigrants in the United States, is a clear indication that President Donald Trump’s push for mass deportations is reshaping federal law enforcement. This nationwide operation involves more than 5,000 personnel from across federal law enforcement agencies and up to 21,000 National Guard troops, according to an operation plan described to NBC News by three sources with knowledge of the personnel allocations who detailed previously unreported plans.
The Trump administration’s focus on immigration-related cases has led officials to shift resources away from other core national security missions and towards nonviolent administrative offenses related to immigrants, leaving less time and attention for traditional criminal investigations. This is evident in the plan calling for 3,000 ICE agents, including 1,800 from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which generally investigates transnational crimes and is not typically involved in arresting noncriminal immigrants; as well as 2,000 Justice Department employees from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, and Drug Enforcement Administration.
The historical context of this shift can be traced back to President Trump’s campaign promises on immigration reform and his executive orders since taking office. His administration has been pushing for stricter border control measures, increased deportations, and a crackdown on sanctuary cities across the United States. This new operation is just one example of how these policies are being implemented at the federal level.
The potential implications of this reshaping of law enforcement resources could have significant consequences both domestically and internationally. On a domestic level, it may lead to an increase in crime rates as fewer resources are allocated towards traditional criminal investigations. Internationally, it could strain relations with other countries who rely on the expertise of agencies like HSI for transnational crime investigations.
As we continue to monitor this situation, it is crucial that we consider its long-term effects and potential consequences. While President Trump’s push for mass deportations may be popular among some voters, it seems clear that these policies are having a profound impact on federal law enforcement agencies and their ability to effectively carry out their duties in protecting national security interests.
