Foreign Ministry agents are now working with ICE on immigration

DSS employee says it is common to register all activities as part of the DSS achievement, but so far, the immigration application has not been a category that could be recorded in the system.

They say: “The system has always been (tracking) to penetrate a passport, fraud in the visa, or internal investigation of kidnapping, lack of difference or human trafficking.” “But this address 8, deviates from our authority, from our training.”

The former DSS agent, who worked at one of the US State Department offices and spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their privacy, says DSS agents in the United States have not received any authority to impose immigration before the second Trump administration. If you work DSS with DHS, it will be because “there is a bond in our investigations,” says the former agent.

The source adds, that DSS agents have no experience in implementation Administrative ordersThis type of notes that allow the person to be arrested to violate immigration. They say: “We know what to do for the arrest memo, all the steps we take and all of it.” “We are not doing administrative orders, and we are doing criminal orders.”

Last week, and New York Times I mentioned DSS officers were participating in the federal acquisition of Washington, DC, including at least one arrest. This seems to have also been important outside their competence.

Under the Trump administration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs underwent a comprehensive reform. In May, the Foreign Ministry informed Congress that it intends to create a file Standard Office As a “center for immigration issues and tracking the return to the homeland.” The concept of the match is a prominent right -wing plan that calls for the expulsion of migrants and minorities from Western countries. Last month, about 1350 employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs I received termination notificationsThe Trump administration also said it aims to reduce 15 percent of the administration employees.

DSS agent suspects that participation and documentation of efforts towards enforcement of immigration can allow the agency to show its value in implementing the president’s agenda, and allowing it to protect some of its budget.

“This certainly started just after Trump took office,” they say.

“DSS agents are the least trained” and are concerned that “the agents who are trained now are now imposing the immigration law while they are studying the civil rights of people, and they may not know that.”
