The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has begun cooperating with federal immigration officials to locate undocumented individuals, according to Washington Post reports. The involvement follows an executive order directing all federal law enforcement to locate and deport immigrants illegally in the U.S.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service joined a Department of Homeland Security task force on the mass deportation campaign, involving techniques like mail covers to gather information.
Postal inspectors participated in a recent immigration raid in Colorado Springs, Colorado, resulting in over 100 arrests of immigrants illegally in the U.S.
