Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called for the immediate deployment of 20,000 additional law enforcement officers to accelerate nationwide deportations. Speaking at a rally in Texas, Trump emphasized the need for stronger border security measures, citing rising concerns over illegal immigration and national security.
Trump stated that the increase in enforcement personnel would ensure more efficient processing of deportation orders and tighter control over the U.S. border. “We need stronger action 20,000 officers dedicated to protecting our borders and upholding the law,” he declared, adding that the move would restore “law and order” across the country.
The proposal has sparked widespread debate, with supporters praising it as a decisive step to combat illegal immigration, while critics argue it could lead to human rights violations and strain community relations. Civil rights organizations have expressed concerns over potential profiling and the impact on immigrant families, urging for a more balanced approach.
Trump’s call for expanded enforcement aligns with his previous immigration policies, which focused heavily on border security and deportation efforts. He urged Congress to support funding for the proposed officer expansion, promising faster processing of immigration cases and enhanced security at key entry points.
The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions in Washington over immigration reform and border security policies. Republican leaders have largely backed Trump’s proposal, while Democratic lawmakers have expressed reservations, calling for comprehensive immigration reform rather than intensified enforcement.
Trump remains firm on his stance, pledging to prioritize border control if re-elected in the upcoming presidential race.
