More details of the operation were expected at a press conference on Friday afternoon.In July, the Australian customs and border protection merged with the department of immigration and border protection and launched the Australian Border Force, whose officers have substantially greater powers than either customs or immigration officials. They are permitted to carry guns and have powers to detain.Under the Migration Act, an authorised officer can ask for information from someone the officer “knows or reasonably suspects is a non-citizen”.The information can include evidence of being a lawful non-citizen and personal identity papers. The person must comply with the request within a time period “specified by the officer”.If the officer “knows or reasonably suspects” the person is an unlawful non-citizen the officer must detain that person.
