The United States Postal Service is the latest federal government entity
0:04
to join in on President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. According to the Washington Post, the Postal Inspection Service, a small department within
0:16
the USPS, has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security to provide details on
0:22
undocumented immigrants. A video posted on social media Sunday by the Drug Enforcement Agency
0:28
seems to confirm the move. At least one official from the Postal Inspection Service
0:33
was spotted aiding in the roundup of more than 100 undocumented immigrants at an underground
0:39
nightclub in Colorado. The agency has reportedly joined a DHS task force meant to track down
0:47
detain, and ultimately deport unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. The post says immigration
0:54
officials are specifically looking to access a program called Mail Covers, which takes pictures
1:01
of the outside of envelopes and packages, as well as the inspection services surveillance systems
1:08
Those systems include data like credit card and financial information and IP addresses
1:14
Aiding other agencies is not new to the Postal Inspection Service. It's collaborated in the past
1:20
to help locate fugitives, drug traffickers, and other alleged criminals. This is, however, the first time it's been involved in helping with immigration investigations
