The Trump administration has reassigned Caleb Vitello, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in an effort to accelerate the mass deportation agenda. Vitello, a career ICE official with over two decades of experience, is now overseeing all field and enforcement operations related to finding, arresting, and deporting illegal aliens.

The decision to reassign Vitello came from the Homeland Security secretary, reflecting the administration's frustration with the pace of deportations of individuals in the country illegally. This move underscores the importance of immigration enforcement and mass deportations to the Trump administration.
