President Trump's immigration officials are reportedly being instructed to dress conspicuously for media coverage during mass deportation efforts. Following the initiation of a nationwide blitz, federal agents are told to wear identifiable raid jackets, even on the operational periphery, to enhance media interest. This represents a significant shift from previous practices under President Biden, particularly illustrated by the choice of military aircraft for deportations instead of standard commercial airlines, a strategy aimed at maximizing public visibility and media attention on immigration enforcement actions.
According to CNN correspondent Josh Campbell, they’re under orders to take maximum advantage of media coverage as a nationwide blitz begins.
Multiple federal agents assisting U.S. immigration officials with raids directed by the Trump administration have been told to ensure their clothing clearly depicts their respective agency.
Sources said that even agents on the perimeter of operations are specifically instructed by their leadership to wear raid jackets to generate media attention.
The use of military planes to deport migrants marks a stark contrast to the methods employed during the Biden administration.
