To build his highly touted deportation force, President Donald Trump is reviving a long-standing program that deputizes local officers to enforce federal immigration law.
The program received scant attention during a week in which Trump announced plans to build a border wall, hire thousands more federal agents and impose restrictions on refugees from Middle Eastern countries.
But the program could end up having a significant impact on immigration enforcement around the country, despite falling out of favor in recent years amid complaints that it promotes racial profiling.
More than 60 police and sheriff's agencies had the special authority as of 2009, applying for it as the nation's immigration debate was heating up. Since then, the number has been halved and the effort scaled back as federal agents ramped up other enforcement programs and amid complaints officers weren't focusing on the goal of catching violent offenders and instead arrested immigrants for minor violations, like driving with broken tail lights.

Imagine > more law enforcement, less 'revenue enhancement' !
President Trump didn’t designate those 7 countries in banning their people from flying to America, former President Obama did!
Epic – Is Team Trump Baiting Liberal Media and Refugee Protesters By Using Obama’s Own Policy?…

Why would the text of President Trump’s Executive Order suspending travel visas be readily available on CNN , New York Times, Wall Street Journal , but not on White House page?
I don’t think it’s accidental. The limiting Visa program was President Obama’s action, not President Trump. See link below for full story!
Trump didn’t ban just Muslims. His order bans all people from Obama’s list of 7 terrorist countries
These foreign invaders ARE CRIMINALS and should be pursued by every law enforcement agency and officer.

Countdown to CNN pretending like this is new...
Why not harness the great power and patriotism of the American people?
The non felonious citizen who turns in an illegal alien with assets Jets 10% of the loot.
the IRS already has had such a system for decades.
it would really work.
Bounties work. Give LEO O/T weekend hours to go get the dangerous illegals.
I think failure to signal is dangerous ;)
Ironic coming from those that racially profile Whites every waking moment....
We already use local LEO to enforce federal laws, ie cops arresting bank robbers.
Liberals have no sense of irony.
Leaked Memo Reveals Soros Plan for Federally Controlled Police
"A leaked document from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations exposes the billionaire’s level of involvement in attempting to build what his organization describes as a “national movement” to reform local police forces across the U.S. The reform largely consists of federal guidelines for local police forces."
So SOROS, maybe President Trump has his own ideas for "federal guidlines for local police forces." You like?
Hillary had plans to Soros our police departments. Liberals start by yammering on about setting national standards after a high profile shooting. People fall for it. Soros backed riots in the streets. The point is to get you to agree to trade a little freedom for a sense of safety.
Not so coincidentally, Putin operates exactly the same way. When he needs to regain control of some group trying to go rogue, he stages scary incidents and offers up the state as the cure.
If you can stand to read any of Soros’s books, it’s very clear that he views us as little more than savages who need to be controlled by wise ones like himself.
YES!! to your
Great info & supporting docs in that article. I’m so glad you got that in early post here. I was thinking of doing as its own article because is such a crucial point:
that the workings of Trump’s executive order were *already* within obama’s admin docs — ALL of which are easily available to anyone who cares for the truth.
Let’s see if the enemedia picks up on it — or if Trump succeeds in trolling them again (winning!!).
It’s taken me an hour or more to get this post together — hitting send before I lose it. More later.
(A three year old’s hour, anyway)

Yep. Predictably despicable — fake news.
There are other articles about Federal oversight of police forces. Al Sharpton, Bill Clinton, and the United Nations are supporters of Federal oversight of American police forces. They might get their wish now. HA!
Fat chance.
A lot of liberal dreams are swirling at the bottom of the drain.
All I’m saying is that the left supports Federalized police forces, as long as it is the left doing the Federalizing. Now with Trump as President, they might not think it is such a good idea. It’s the basic be careful what you wish for scenario.
