The Trump administration plans to reform the regional leadership structure at Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to increase deportation levels.
According to reports, this change aims to meet President Donald Trump's target of over 1 million deportations by the end of his first year in office, which immigration authorities are currently not on pace to achieve.
The overhaul comes amid frustrations within the Department of Homeland Security over deportation tactics and priorities in the crackdown on illegal immigration.
This move is part of the administration's efforts to ramp up deportations, which have reportedly divided the leadership of immigration officials.
