ICE shakeup sparks DHS deportation strategy rift

ICE is facing a sweeping leadership overhaul, with Border Patrol and CBP officials poised to replace field chiefs in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Portland, Philadelphia, El Paso and New Orleans, four DHS officials say. The move lays bare a tense split over deportation priorities: Tom Homan and ICE Director Todd Lyons stressing criminal targets, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski and Commander Greg Bovino press broader arrests. One official called the push "too hard, too fast." A DHS official labeled the reassignments performance-based, while a spokesperson said no changes are being announced. Deportations remain below targets.
