The president of the United States, Donald Trump, would be “angry” with his team because the number of people deported in the first weeks of his mandate are not enough, according to an NBC News report that quotes three sources from the immigration service and customs control (ICE) and the White House familiar with the issue.
According to the people consulted, ICE agents are increasingly under pressure to increase the number of arrests and expulsions of undocumented immigrants before the anger of the Republican leader. This discomfort was transmitted to the ‘Tsar of the Border’, Tom Homan, in charge of the mass deportations, the Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem, the White House Cabinet Deputy Chief, Stephen Miller, and the interim director of ICE, Caleb Vitello “[A Trump] He is driving him crazy that they don’t deport more people, “said one of the sources.
Frustration against a difficult goal to meet
Vitello asked in January to strive to fulfill a daily fee of between 1,200 and 1,400 arrests. Far from fulfilling that goal, the highest number in a single day since Trump returned to the Oval office was 1,100 and since then he has done nothing but decrease. As an example, last weekend there were only about 300 arrests, details an anonymous official. It should also be remembered that each capture does not necessarily be equivalent to immediate deportation.
Such a situation was reflected in the mood of the ‘Tsar of the Border’. According to a source, Homan is annoying and has “let his discontent know” for the low number of deportations and arrests. Another person consulted said that the official maintains a daily telephone conference with ICE agents in which he usually expresses his frustration with the figures.
- After his return to the White House, Trump has signed a series of executive orders aimed at closing immigration on the southern border and deporting millions of people who illegally crossed the United States. Numerous flights are already transporting foreigners back to their countries of origin, amid accusations of ill -treatment of migration officials.
- Trump has increasingly resorted to the military to help carry out his immigration agenda. Last month, he deployed 1,500 troops in the border service.
