U.S. immigration enforcement is escalating under President Donald Trump’s policies, with officials confirming increased efforts to identify and deport individuals lacking documentation. Tom Homan, the administration’s immigration strategy lead, announced expanded deployment of specialized teams nationwide to accelerate removals.
The push coincides with reports that U.S. Border Patrol agents are no longer mandated to use body cameras during operations, raising transparency concerns among advocacy groups. Critics argue the policy shift complicates accountability measures, particularly amid rising deportations.
While the administration emphasizes enforcing immigration laws as a national security priority, human rights organizations warn of potential overreach. The lack of camera documentation could challenge efforts to monitor enforcement practices, observers note.
