Immigration Enforcement

On Thursday, March 27th, President Trump signed an executive order (EO) to establish a task force aimed at enhancing crime control and "maximizing immigration enforcement" in Washington, DC. The EO mandates the deployment of additional federal law enforcement; orders strict enforcement of federal immigration laws; reallocates federal, state, and local law enforcement resources for the apprehension and deportation of undocumented immigrants; and introduces a program to enhance the aesthetic appeal of Washington; includes measures for clearing homeless encampments and removing graffiti from federal property.
