According to an internal memo, agents from various federal agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Marshals Service, will be granted the same powers as immigration officers. This move aims to bolster the administration's efforts in enforcing immigration laws and carrying out deportations more effectively.
