Summary
Trump has axed two senior ICE officials, Russell Hott and Peter Berg, as his administration pressures the agency to meet ambitious deportation targets.
Despite arresting over 8,200 immigrants in late January, ICE’s performance has not satisfied Trump, who pledged to deport “millions.”
Border Czar Tom Homan echoed Trump’s frustration, stating that while arrests have tripled compared to last year, “hundreds of thousands” more need to be detained.
We aren’t deporting enough. Quickly, fire the people doing the deporting! That will speed things up!
ICE has 20,000 employees. If we deported all of them, that would more than double the numbers!
