The Trump Administration has issued tough guidelines to widen the net for deporting illegal immigrants from the US, and speed up their removal. <br/><br/>The new guidelines issued last night, expand deportations to undocumented immigrants who have been charged with a crime, misrepresented themselves, pose a risk to public safety, or have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits. <br/><br/>The enforcement memo issued by Homeland Security Department do not alter US immigration laws, but take a much tougher approach towards enforcing existing measures. <br/><br/>White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that the new guidelines will not usher in mass deportations, but are designed to empower agents to enforce laws already on the books. The new guidelines allow Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport people immediately. Local and state law-enforcement officials will also be allowed to arrest unauthorised immigrants.<br/><br/>Homeland Security Department plans to hire an additional 10,000 agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and 5,000 more border patrol officers to enforce the new guidance.
