Kayleigh McEnany Schools ABC’s Jon Karl on Basics of Federal Law Enforcement
“40 U.S. Code 1315 gives DHS the ability to deputize officers in any department or agency, like ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, and Secret Service: ’As officers and agents, they can be deputized for the duty in connection with the protection of property occupied or owned by the federal government and persons on that property,’” explained Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany to ABC’s Jon Karl when asked about President Donald Trump’s authority to send federal law enforcement to Portland, OR, during a press conference Tuesday.
