President Donald Trump is directing federal prosecutors to investigate state and city officials who resist his immigration enforcement efforts, a Justice Department memo instructs.
At the same time, Trump's border czar Tom Homan announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement already arrested 308 illegal migrants on Tuesday - this includes some who have been charged with murder and child rape.
'ICE is doing their job,' Homan said of the swiftly enacted operations.

Multiple reports detail the new directive and the Justice Department memo, written by Trump appointee and Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove.
It states: 'Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing or otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests.'
Trump issued 10 executive orders on day one of his second term on Monday related to the southern border and the illegal immigration crisis.
He vowed during the 2024 election he would carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.

This compared to the thousands per day that were crossing under Biden's leadership is a drastic change from one day to the next.
Migrants found themselves deported or sent straight back to Mexico as they sought to gain entry into the U.S. at the border between Tijuana and California on Tuesday - Trump's first full day back in office.
Hundreds were seen on Tuesday walking back over the El Chaparral pedestrian border bridge after being deported back to Mexico.
The Justice Department now warns that any officials who resist or obstruct the federal immigration enforcement could now be charged with defrauding the U.S. or even harboring illegal aliens.
If their investigations find local officials to be in violation of this directive but the prosecution opts not to bring criminal charges, they must notify the Justice Department of such a decision.
Bove's memo notes this is an additional way in which to enforce the flurry of executive orders Trump signed on illegal immigration already.
He also cited threats posed by international gangs and drug cartels, writing: 'It is the responsibility of the Justice Department to defend the Constitution and, accordingly, to lawfully executive the policies that the American people elected President Trump to implement.'
Meanwhile, thousands of active duty troops are on their way to the border as they were ordered to provide reinforcements to immigration officials.
And even more forces are expected to be deployed there in coming weeks and months, according to a CNN report.
Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering troops to respond to the crisis and clarified their task at the border.
There are already approximately 2,200 active duty troops at the border assisting Customs and Border Protection as part of Joint Task Force-North, US Northern Command's border mission based out of El Paso, Texas.
They perform logistics and bureaucratic tasks such as data entry, detection, monitoring and vehicle maintenance.
It is not yet clear which additional units are being ordered to the border or what their role will be.
Comment: Notice how Homan emphasizes apprehending and removing criminal elements as ICE's priority. Bash blows right by that, going straight for the heartstrings with 'Afghan women and children' refugees. CNN hasn't learned a thing.
