DSS staff said that all activities were recorded as common as part of the DSS investigation, but so far, immigration enforcement has never been a category that can be logged into the system.
“The system used to be always [tracking] “For passport fraud, visa fraud or internal investigation, violation, error or trafficking in persons,” they said. “But, Title 8, it is moving from our authority to our training.”
A former DSS agent, who works in a U.S. office in the State Department and speaks while protecting its privacy, said DSS agents in the U.S. never had the right to enforce immigration before the second Trump administration. If DSS does work with DHS, it will be because “there are connections in our investigation”, the former agent said.
Sources added that DSS proxy has no experience in execution Administrative Warrantsthe kind of warrant that allows someone to be arrested for immigration violations. “We know how to do an arrest warrant, all the steps we take and all of these steps,” they said. “We don’t execute administrative warrants, we sign criminal arrest warrants.”

DSS agents suspected that they had participated and documented efforts to enforce the law for immigration could allow the agency to prove its value in the implementation of the presidential agenda and allow it to protect certain budgets.
“This definitely only starts after Trump takes office,” they said.
DSS employees working in other law enforcement agencies said “DSS agents are the least trained agents” and were concerned that “trained agents are now enforcing immigration laws and are trampling on people’s civil rights, and they don’t even understand that.”
