Acting ICE Director Demoted as Trump Admin Remains Unsatisfied with Pace of Migrant Arrests, Deportations; Trump’s Ambitious New Plan to Ramp Up Migrant Deportations… After Firing ICE Chief for Slow Progress; Homan: Arrests Will Go Up After Acting ICE Director is Reassigned

Acting ICE director demoted as Trump admin remains unsatisfied with pace of migrant arrests, deportations:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Director Caleb Vitello was reassigned Friday in the latest staffing shake-up at the agency tasked with arresting and deporting criminal illegal immigrants.

Vitello will now oversee “all field and enforcement operations,” including “finding, arresting, and deporting illegal aliens,” a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Politico.

A new ICE chief has not been named.

Vitello, a 23 year veteran of ICE, was tasked by President Trump last December to lead the agency on an interim basis.

His demotion comes a week after the Trump administration moved two other top ICE officials to local field offices.

The officials, Russell Hott and Peter Berg, were cut from ICE’s enforcement division amid increasing pressure from the Trump administration to ramp up migrant arrests and deportations, according to the Washington Post.

“We have a president, DHS secretary, and American people who rightfully demand results, and our ICE leadership will ensure the agency delivers,” a DHS spokesperson said at the time. —>READ MORE HERE

Trump’s ambitious new plan to ramp up migrant deportations… after firing ICE chief for slow progress:

The Trump administration is planning a bold new border crackdown that would let officials instantly expel migrants over fears they could spread dangerous diseases like tuberculosis.

Internal documents obtained by CBS News reveal plans to resurrect the controversial Title 42 policy – the same measure Trump used in 2020 to shut down the border during the Covid pandemic.

The bombshell move comes as Trump doubles down on his strong immigration stance.

Under the proposed policy, immigration officials would gain sweeping new powers to turn away migrants at the border without the usual asylum screening process.

The plan would leverage the Public Health Service Act to allow fast deportations, bypassing standard immigration protocols that normally let migrants claim asylum even after crossing illegally.

This would mean officials would be able to rapidly deport migrants to Mexico, their home countries, or any third nation willing to take them.

The Biden administration had kept Trump’s original Title 42 policy in place amid soaring illegal border crossings until letting it expire in 2023.

But now, Trump is reaching for an even more ambitious version of those emergency powers. —>READ MORE HERE
