Trump admin is heavily concerned after this government agency gets turned on its head
President Trump desperately needs this group to get their act together. It’s essential in order for him to accomplish his goals as commander-in-chief.
And the Trump admin is heavily concerned after this government agency gets turned on its head.
America’s long-overdue crackdown on illegal immigration is hitting high gear, and it’s causing fireworks inside the Department of Homeland Security. A sweeping purge of top brass at Immigration and Customs Enforcement is underway, with field office leaders in major cities getting the boot to make way for battle-hardened Border Patrol veterans.
Sources deep in DHS paint a picture of chaos in the halls of power, where old-school enforcers are clashing with the no-holds-barred crew demanding total war on every last illegal alien. At least eight key ICE outposts are in the crosshairs, their bosses on the chopping block. Fox News got the scoop straight from four top DHS insiders, and the story reeks of the tough choices America demands after years of open-border madness.
On one flank, you’ve got Border Czar Tom Homan and ICE Director Todd Lyons, the guys who’ve been grinding away at the worst offenders—r*pists, m*rderers, and deadbeat criminals with one-way tickets home.
They’ve built their game plan around precision strikes, nailing those with final removal orders and keeping the heat on the real threats to American families. It’s methodical, it’s smart, and it’s kept ICE from turning into a blunt hammer.
But storming in from the other side are the heavy hitters like DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, her right-hand man Corey Lewandowski, and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. Their push is simple: flood the system with numbers and send a message that Uncle Sam’s patience is done.
The air in DHS headquarters? Thick with tension. ICE old-timers are digging in their heels, griping that this scorched-earth tactic risks turning public opinion against the mission. They’re warning that blending ICE’s surgical ops with Border Patrol’s raid-heavy style could muddy the waters and hand ammo to the amnesty crowd on the left.
One grizzled DHS veteran spilled it to Fox: “ICE started off with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol came to LA in June, we’ve lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization.”
Cut to the chase, as another insider laid it out cold: “ICE is arresting criminal aliens. They [Border Patrol] are hitting Home Depots and car washes.
The Border Patrol boots on the ground aren’t backing down. One agent shot back at the critics with pure grit when speaking to Fox News: “What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst?” He’s echoing the boss man himself, Tom Homan, who laid down the law clear as day: “Tom Homan has said it himself — anyone in the US illegally is on the table.”
This palace intrigue couldn’t come at a worse—or better—time. Deportation tallies are lagging behind the sky-high goals President Trump set when he reclaimed the White House, a stark reminder that talk is cheap without the muscle to back it.
The admin’s vowed to ship out millions, but red tape and half-hearted holdovers have kept the buses half-empty. Enter the reassignments: field chiefs in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Portland, Philadelphia, El Paso, and New Orleans are packing their desks, primed for an influx of CBP sharpshooters who live for the frontline fight.
Word from another DHS suit calls these swaps “performance-based,” a polite way of saying the old guard’s been dragging its feet. It’s about injecting fresh blood, the kind that turns promises into action and gets results where it counts.
DHS mouthpiece Tricia McLaughlin also addressed the situation: “While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country.”
For everyday Americans tired of watching their neighborhoods turn into no-go zones, this infighting is a sideshow. What matters is the endgame—millions deported, families safe, and a nation that puts its own first again.
Think about the stakes here. Every day these illegals stick around, they’re competing for wages, straining schools and hospitals, and—worst of all—some are straight-up predators walking free.
Critics inside DHS whine about “eroding public support,” but let’s call it what it is—fear of the spotlight. Real patriots know the public gets it: polls show overwhelming backing for mass removals when framed right.
In the end, this DHS dust-up is the growing pains of a beast finally unchained. Trump’s team is forging a deportation machine that won’t quit, blending brains and brawn to make America secure once more.
