Trump’s mass deportation agenda is at a crossroads with the Homeland Security shake

Conservative groups urge Trump to accelerate deportations toward 1 million removals in 2026 despite GOP divisions and Democratic resistance over enforcement tactics and funding.

  • This year, the administration is intensifying deportations, hiring ICE officers and building detention sites to target roughly one immigrant for every 1,000, with billions spent.
  • Secretary Kristi Noem is exiting as Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma appears this week for Senate confirmation hearings, with DHS soon under new management that could reshape immigration policy.
  • A conservative coalition formed recently includes the Heritage Foundation and Erik Prince, with Mark Morgan, former acting head of ICE and CBP, advocating enforcement at worksites and against visa overstays.
  • After deadly sweeps in Minneapolis and elsewhere, Democratic lawmakers are refusing routine DHS funding following the deaths of at least three U.S. citizens during operations.
  • Advocates warn the administration may pursue 'self-deportation' tactics by ending temporary permissions for refugees, while GOP strains and White House political director push a narrower enforcement, House Speaker Mike Johnson said.
