{{Main|Deportation in the second presidency of Donald Trump}}

On January 23, 2025, 3 days after returning to his office in the second presidential inauguration, United States President Donald Trump implemented several campaign promises regarding stricter immigration enforcement, leading to an uptick in United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across major metropolitan areas.

That same day, the DHS authorized federal law enforcement personnel from numerous federal agencies to assist in carrying out Trump immigration policies. A memo from acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman provided "the functions of an immigration officer" to several law enforcement agencies within the Justice Department, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Marshals Service. The memo, addressed to acting attorney general James McHenry, noted that FBI agents have a role for arrests related to immigration, known as Title 8 authority; this authority was now conferred onto other agencies.{{cite web |last1=Sganga |first1=Nicole |last2=Legare |first2=Robert |title=DHS authorizes federal law enforcement to implement Trump's immigration policies|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dhs-authorizes-federal-law-enforcement-to-implement-trump-immigration-policies/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a |website=CBS News |date=January 23, 2025}}
