FBI agents are reportedly teaming up with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents to assist in pushing forward President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

“Following the issuance of the acting AG’s memo, all of our special agents in charge have been reaching out to their counterparts over there at DHS to proactively offer assistance,” acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll told Fox News.

“And we’ve been working really hard over here to get our folks trained up on Title 8 authorities that we’re operating under for these particular operations. So we are and will remain postured to support DHS the best that we can over here at the FBI,” he added.

Title 8 of the United States Code codifies statutes related to illegal aliens.

“I’ve talked to every single one of our special agents in charge of all 55 of our divisions,” Driscoll continued. “I know that every single one of them has reached out to their DHS counterparts to offer assistance and support. So we here at the FBI are really leaning forward to assist DHS the best that we can, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder.”

“Our best chance to protect Americans, whether it’s from the threats posed by groups like ISIS or in our efforts to dismantle groups like Tren de Aragua, the best way to do that is to put our heads together, our tools together, our efforts together with DHS, but also with all of our United States intelligence community and law enforcement partners around the country,” he added.

Driscoll went on tout the FBI’s success in rounding up illegals.

“Our intelligence support is as strong as our tactical support. I want to make that clear,” he said. “So, for example, in New York, about gathering and sharing what we know with DHS, we were able to prioritize the worst of the worst. And we now have dozens of subjects in custody.”

“There is no national security threat that DHS works without the FBI. Additionally, there are very few threats the FBI works without a DHS nexus, so it’s always part of our approach to look at all the tools in our toolkit,” he added.

This sort of collaboration between the FBI and DHS obviously isn’t new. Indeed, Driscoll went on to point to a case last year in which FBI agents discovered evidence of an ISIS travel network consisting of eight Tajik nationals.

My thoughts tonight regarding the news today that 8 nationals of Tajikistan w/ suspected ISIS ties were arrested after crossing the southern border illegally & initially had no derogatory info flag during vetting.

“We moved really fast in that case to get that information over to DHS, so [Customs and Border Protection] could use that intel to inform interviews down at the border or up at the border,” Driscoll explained.

“And in turn, they can make a better determination over there regarding who needs to be referred for things like mandatory detention. And ICE could initiate deportation proceedings and stop those subjects from attacking American citizens,” he continued.

This comes as federal authorities arrested over 900 illegal aliens this Wednesday alone, including a convicted child rapist and 22 Tren de Aragua gang members.

“Homeland Security agents in Washington, DC, cuffed Luis Felipe Duran-Hernandez, a dangerous Honduran migrant who had previously been convicted of the rape of a minor under the age of 13 and for possessing a firearm as a felon,” according to the New York Post.

“President Trump promised to make America safe, and this is the first wave of those promises, where ICE agents are going out and making arrests of criminal illegal aliens that have caused chaos and destruction in this country,” former ICE official John Fabbricatore told the paper.
