Trump administration to reassign ICE officials in bid to intensify deportation campaign

The administration replaced ICE leaders in five cities with Border Patrol agents to boost deportations, targeting 600,000 removals by January 2026, officials said.

  • The Trump administration is reassigning at least half of Immigration and Customs Enforcement leadership, including 12 ICE field office directors, as the Homeland Security Department reviews the agency.
  • On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said the administration is on pace to deport nearly 600,000 people by the end of Trump's first year, short of the deportation target of 1,000,000.
  • Customs and Border Protection officers will fill half the replacements, with ICE officers filling the rest, targeting Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, and four other cities.
  • Homeland Security and the White House declined to comment and emphasized unity while Tricia McLaughlin said the department is `laser focused on RESULTS` and Abigail Jackson said the administration is working in lockstep amid major deployments and protests.
  • Internal divisions show ICE is reallocating at least half of its 25 field offices, with DHS saying it is `laser focused on RESULTS`, as ICE receives funding to hold 100,000 migrants and recruits 10,000 agents, with over 60,000 in custody.
