The fiery dispute centered on a proposal that would have allowed agents to enter homes without judicial warrants
An internal dispute over how to carry out Donald Trump’s deportation agenda grew so heated that officials had to “clear the room,” according to a new report.
The argument unfolded during a February 2025 meeting attended by Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, and Caleb Vitello, who was then the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Scott and his deputies were advocating for a “master plan” — approved by then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — that called for establishing a National Incident Command Center, which would tap the resources of ICE, CBP and the Pentagon, NBC News reported.
The plan was part of an effort to dramatically ramp up deportations to 1 million per year, lining up with the president’s promise to carry out the largest illegal immigrant expulsion program in U.S. history.
lol ok tough guy
If you have a family and you were expecting ICE to come after you, you’d probably be most likely to see your family again if you fight it legally, instead of trying to shoot your way out. Now, if you have nothing left to lose, then that could be a different story.
