DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who authored the letter, emphasized that President Donald Trump has instructed her department to "take all appropriate action to supplement available personnel to secure the southern border and enforce the immigration laws of the United States." This directive includes leveraging the agency's authority to deputize federal employees for immigration-related tasks.

In line with Trump's directive, DHS has already established collaborations with various law enforcement entities. These partnerships include components of the Department of Justice, members of the Texas National Guard, and officials from the Texas Attorney General's Office. "Even with these resources available, more can be done to fully implement the Executive Order," Noem stated. She further highlighted that the Department of Treasury possesses qualified law enforcement personnel who could assist with immigration enforcement, particularly given recent expansions in the IRS workforce and budget.
