Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem signed a memo this week deputizing up to 600 State Department officials as immigration officers, as part of a government-wide push to ramp up deportations and secure the border.
Noem signed an order that deputized up to 600 special agents in the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service to help with the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants.
"Under President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security will use every tool and resource available to secure our border and get criminal illegal aliens out of our country," Noem said in a statement. "The safety of American citizens comes first."
The move is the latest effort by the department to expand the number of officials involved in immigration enforcement, amid a push by the Trump administration to aggressively increase the arrests and deportation of illegal immigrants.
DHS has deputized IRS employees, law enforcement components of the Justice Department and law enforcement officials with the Texas Attorney General’s Office.
"It is DHS’s understanding that the Department of Treasury has qualified law enforcement personnel available to assist with immigration enforcement, especially in light of recent increases to the Internal Revenue Service’s work force and budget," Noem said last week.
Fox News Digital reported last week that interior arrests have skyrocketed compared to the same period in 2024, while numbers of crossings of illegal immigrants at the border have continued to trend downward. According to Department of Homeland Security data, there were 11,791 interior ICE arrests from Jan. 20 to Feb. 8, compared to 4,969 during the same period in 2024. That is a 137% increase.
The administration has said it is trying to target the "worst of the worst," focusing on criminal illegal immigrants and gang members but has also stressed that it is not ruling anyone...

Agreed
Get em all
Couple this with cutting off any and all Taxpayer Funds these criminals THINK they’re entitled to and the self-deporting will also be massive.
I really thought her career would crater after that stupid dog-shooting fiasco, but she’s got a HUGE platform now and if she can help MAGA, it will be epic.
She’s got at least 30 million to remove.
How about deputizing the unorganized milita and paying them with bounty money? The current rate of deportations, even when still nabbing the low-hanging fruit, won't get the job done.
They need to add bulk herding options, rather than only chasing down the really bad guys one at a time. Otherwise, it’ll be like the wall in Trump I—lots of noise and some work, but no delivery on the actual promise.
Probably 60 million here at this point, but I’ll be happy with 30 million removed.
the numbers they’re getting are meaningless in comparison to the number of illegals.
They’ll never remove them. Once the women start weeping about the poor Ninos they’ll make a deal. My town is already Hispanic and they bend over backwards for them. And boy, are they arrogant.
Then our whole country is gone.
(Of course, we’ve got other threats as well.)
It’s time to start booting them all. They are in the country illegally stealing from our treasury.
I hope so. I would love to see caravans of people going the other way, across the border, going south.
Meaning NOT targeting any of THE REST OF THEM. So what if anything is going to happen to the millions of alien recipients of monthly SSDI payments discovered by DOGE and Musk through AI analysis at Treasury and at SSA? Sixty million of these leeches have based their entire illegal and hateful presence in the U.S. on false social security numbers they paid to obtain, which allowed them to purchase vehicles and smart phones and get mortgages from our treasonous banks to buy homes in our communities and neighborhoods and stick their non-English-speaking offspring right next to American children in the schools we American taxpayers continue to pay for. And then these leeches overload the ER's at our local hospitals for more "free stuff", courtesy of the "stupid gringos" they have nothing but vicious hate and contempt for. What is going to happen with them, Mr. President?
QUIET BOUNTY $$$$$$$$ would be VERY effective.
DEAD OR ALIVE.
CHANNELING STEVE McQUEEN
I WANT THEM ALL GONE.
THEY MULTIPLY LIKE COCKROACHES
I do too. As Trump has said, “They are not sending their best.” (And, some might add, our national IQ has been dropping precipitously.)
We need 7.5 million out per year just to get the 30 M/half out. That is more than 600,000 per month or 20,000 a day—not 4,000 a week!
Smart too.
