Meeting on Trump’s deportation agenda erupted into heated argument, report says
Trump says there’s a ‘possibility’ of new strikes if Iran ‘misbehaves’
An internal dispute within the administration centered on a proposal to dramatically increase deportations to 1 million per year, allowing federal agents to enter homes without judicial warrants.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem advocated for the plan, which included establishing a National Incident Command Center.
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Caleb Vitello opposed the policy, expressing concerns that U.S. citizens could be wrongfully detained if agents entered homes without judicial oversight.
Following a heated argument where Vitello stood his ground, he was replaced as acting ICE director, and parts of the controversial deportation plan were subsequently implemented.
This incident is among several reported internal disputes within the administration, highlighting intense policy disagreements among officials.
