Trump Admin Purges ICE Leaders in Five Cities, Installs Border Patrol Agents

The Trump administration has begun purging Immigration and Customs Enforcement leadership in five major cities and replacing them with senior Border Patrol agents, a move that insiders say marks a sweeping shift in the way the government will carry out interior immigration enforcement.

ICE field office directors in Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Diego were removed from their posts last Friday and reassigned within the agency, multiple sources said to the Washington Examiner.

Over the weekend, the Department of Homeland Security began quietly overhauling its deportation operations in what officials describe as an effort to boost arrests and expand the administration’s high-profile immigration crackdown.
