It's Spanish slang, usually used by Mexicans, for anyone that is an Immigration Officer in the U.S. CBP, ICE, Border Patrol... would apply to all.

It must be something related to Immigration.

I am a native Spanish speaker, but I have only heard that in a movie.

Migra, or la Migra, is a term used within Spanish-speaking communities as a way to refer to U.S. government entities or officials that enforce U.S. immigration laws such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Border Patrol. The word derives from the Spanish word migraciÃƒÂ³n, which translates to immigration or migration in English.
