Trump Plans ICE Shakeup, Boosts Border Patrol

Seeking to speed deportations, the Trump administration plans to reassign at least a dozen ICE field office directors—potentially replacing about half with Border Patrol officials—amid frustration over arrest totals, officials say. ICE averages 1,178 arrests daily, far short of the 3,000 pushed by Stephen Miller. Border Patrol has deployed more than 1,500 agents and used tactics like Black Hawk rappels in Chicago, prompting lawsuits. Greg Bovino, who has overseen recent operations, is due before a federal judge Tuesday over alleged excessive force. DHS declined comment; the White House said the team is acting in lockstep.
