President Donald Trump called on Congress Friday to provide additional funding to America’s law and immigration enforcement agencies fighting a brutal wave of gang crime connected to illegal border crossings.
Trump stressed the need for hundreds of additional immigration prosecutors and judges, since current laws require a court proceeding for a deportation to be executed. He also noted that the 6,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents working across the country are not enough to handle the gang and illegal immigration threats.
