US plans massive and aggressive detention of Undocumented

US plans detention and aggressive deportation of undocumented immigrants, the idea is to immediately return Mexican immigrants detained at the border, awaiting the results of their deportation hearings. The US Department of Homeland Security has issued pending guidelines for more aggressive detention and deportation of immigrants, according to memos as the first step in implementing President Donald Trump's immigration policies, with provisions that could make substantial changes in The application of immigration laws. In them, Kelly details plans to hire thousands of immigration agents, solicit the cooperation of local police officers for detention, and more quickly deport undocumented immigrants. In executive orders, signed shortly after he became president last month, Donald Trump announced plans to build a wall along the Mexican border and increase action against the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country. "The immigration wave on the southern border has overflowed federal agencies and resources and created a major vulnerability to US national security," Kelly wrote in the guidelines. The guidelines also intend to reduce the number of unaccompanied minors who have come from Mexico and Central America, which was 160,000 in the last 3 years.
