The Trump administration is directing immigration agents to track down hundreds of thousands of migrant children who entered the United States without their parents, expanding the president's mass deportation effort,

Immigration authorities are reportedly targeting a new demographic in an attempt to meet the lofty deportation goals demanded by President Donald Trump: unaccompanied migrant children. The Trump administration last week ordered immigration agents to chase down children who crossed the border without their parents,

The memo, titled “Unaccompanied Alien Children Joint Initiative Field Implementation,” stated that children would be deported if they have existing deportation orders or served with a notice to appear in immigration court.

The administration has ousted the head of the government’s deportation force, according to a new report that said President Trump was upset with the slow pace of deportations.
