The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday began rolling out President Trump's plans for a wider crackdown on people coming into the United States illegally.

The moves, outlined in a pair of memos signed by DHS Secretary John Kelly, include an end to the policy of releasing people caught at the borders pending deportation hearings, hiring thousands more federal agents, sending more judges and officers to deal with asylum claims, enlisting more help from local police and speeding up removal proceedings for a larger number of people who are in the country illegally.

The memos also recommend authorities seek prosecution of parents who pay smugglers to bring their children into the United States decisions that will ultimately be made by federal prosecutors.

Kelly's memos are nearly identical to executive orders signed by Trump last month as part of his campaign promise to take a harder line on illegal immigration. The memos add detail on how the new priorities will be carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

These moves are separate from Trump's ban on travel from seven majority-Muslim countries, which is has been blocked by federal courts and could result in a newly written executive order this week.

The memos largely override previous orders from former President Obama.

But, significantly, the memos leave two orders in place: one concerning young people who came to the United States as children but were allowed to stay, known as "dreamers," and another that allows parents to to stay in the country if they came here illegally to join their U.S. citizen children. The second, however, has been blocked in federal court.

ICE Director Thomas Homan told the Examiner that As of May 21, 2016, there were 950,062 aliens with final orders of removal on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) national docket. Of those aliens, 939,056 were on ICEs non-detained docket and 11,006 were on ICEs detained docket.

As Breitbart Texas reported, some of those 680 illegal immigrants arrested and detained are MS-13 gang members, child sex offenders, rapists and drug traffickers.

To achieve this overwhelming task, DHS is authorizing the hiring of 10,000 new immigration officers, as Breitbart Texas reported.

DHS Secretary John Kelly ordered Homan to immediately begin hiring new ICE agents, operational and mission staff, and legal experts.

An elementary school teacher inWashington state has been placed on administrative leave after sharing information about how to contactU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to report illegal aliens.

The unnamed educator, who taught atKeene-Riverview Elementary School in Prosser, Washington, shared the information in a Facebook post that could beseen as hostile and offensive,according to The Yakima Herald-Repubic. The post led to angry and concerning phone calls and visits from concerned citizens and parents, the school district said.

The teachers post was in response to the nationwide Day Without Immigrants protest on Thursday.

[ICE]will need to know names, locations (either work place or residence) and any other specific information you can provide, the teacher wrote, adding, If this offended you in anyway, do me a favor and unfriend my American ass!!!

After complaints surfaced, the school district decided to put the teacher on leave.

Due to possible safety and security concerns, as well as concern for disruption of the school environment, this teacher has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation of this incident by the district, the Prosser School District said in a press release on the matter.

The school districts board of directors worked to distance themselves from the teachers words.

Please be assured that the views expressed by this teacher on her personal Facebook page do not in any way reflect the views, beliefs or values of the Prosser School District or its administration or Board of Directors,a statement read.

The Facebook post was first published on Wednesday, one day before the protests began. The demonstrations were in response to President Donald Trumps hardline position on illegal immigration.

Since becoming president, Trump has signed an executive order moving forward with the construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, signed an order to significantly expand the governments priorities regarding deportation of illegal immigrants and ordered the freeze of travel into the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries. The last of those three actionshas beenhalted by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

During the Thursday protests, severalProsser-area workersclosed their businesses in support of the anti-Trump demonstrations, the Herald-Republic reported.

A new studyfrom the Center for Immigration Studies reportsthat a border wall could save U.S. taxpayers $64 million over the next decade. The author of the report, director of research Steven Camarota, joined Cheryl Casone of Fox Business on Fridayto discuss the costs associated with illegal immigrants.

"We do have a pretty good idea based on a variety of sources of the likely education level of illegal immigrants and there is already an existing body of research that estimates the fiscal impact of illegal immigrants by education or immigrants in general," Camerota began.

"The National Academy of Sciences just did a study last year on how much immigrants pay in taxes and use in services by education," he said. "Once you know the education level of illegal immigrants and then you plug it in and you can come up with an estimate."

Casone asked Camarota to further explainhow the cost of an illegal immigrant accumulates.

"So a big part of it is they just don't pay much in taxes because of their education levels and that's why the costs accumulate," Camarota said. "Because they are creating costs for everything from fire, police protection, they do get some welfare programs, healthcare costs, and then they're not paying that much even when they're paid on the books."

Discussing the opposition to immigration enforcement, Camarota blamed a small number of vocal activists.

"Because in the view of advocates for illegal aliens, if any illegal immigrant has to go home it's a tragedy. The impact on American workers, or as this study points out, the impact on taxpayers, don't concern them. What ICE is doing is trying to save taxpayers money by making illegal immigrants go home," Camarota concluded.
