In addition to deploying tens of thousands of federal agents from across the federal government to carry out his deportation agenda, Trump is rapidly expanding the network of state and local police going after immigrants through partnerships with ICE.

The aggressive, nationwide law enforcement regime, all taking place under orders from the White House, amounts to what scholars, attorneys, and now a federal judge say are steps toward the creation of a national police force.

In at least three states, the administration is joining forces with agencies typically tasked with environmental and marine protection, lottery control, and gaming to target immigrants.

This too will be ignored, or reversed. e.g.

"Trump can deploy National Guard in Portland, appeals court panel says"
