Federal law specifically defines the types of enforcement activity that federal immigration agents may engage in and the particular classes of agents that are empowered to undertake each type of enforcement activity. See 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(1) (interrogation authority); (a)(2) (arrest authority); see also 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(a)(1) (designating officers with interrogation authority); (b) (designating officers with authority to patrol border); (c) (designating officers with arrest authority and noting training requirements). Federal law also requires that, when federal immigration agents make a warrantless arrest for an immigration violation, the individual arrested be provided with certain procedural protections.
