"The Trump administration is not satisfied with the pace of deportations and is therefore going to replace some officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with Border Patrol (CBP) officers, whose tactics are more aggressive than those employed by ICE agents. The government has not officially announced the changes, but several media outlets have reported that a dozen ICE directors, who oversee 25 local offices nationwide, will be reassigned in the coming days."
"The mentality is CBP does what they're told, and the administration thinks ICE isn't getting the job done, an official from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees both agencies, told CBS. So CBP will do it. The heads of ICE in Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Diego have already been relieved of their duties and transferred to other positions within the federal agency, according to the Washington Examiner."
The Trump administration plans to replace some Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials with Border Patrol (CBP) officers to increase the pace and toughness of deportations. Media reports indicate about a dozen ICE directors who oversee 25 local offices will be reassigned, with at least half of vacancies filled by CBP personnel. A DHS official said the administration believes CBP follows orders more reliably than ICE. Several ICE field chiefs have already been moved. Administration leaders set ambitious apprehension targets that ICE has not met, and a larger CBP role signals a push for a more aggressive removal campaign. Border agents have been involved in forceful urban arrests.
