The Trump administration plans to restructure the regional leadership at Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to increase deportation levels.
According to reports, the overhaul is a response to frustrations within the Department of Homeland Security regarding deportation tactics and priorities in the crackdown on illegal immigration, which has reportedly divided ICE leadership.
President Donald Trump set an aggressive target of more than 1 million deportations by the end of! his first year in office, which immigration authorities are not on pace to meet.
The move aims to ramp up deportations, which have not met the president's expectations.
