President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Feb. 6 targeting criminal illegal aliens in the United States, instructing federal agencies to improve their sharing of records.
The order requires the Department of Justice to give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) full access to federal criminal history information to further improve immigration screening, vetting, and border enforcement. It’s the latest action in accordance with Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign vow to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
