Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced sweeping leadership changes Thursday as part of an effort to dramatically ramp up arrests of illegal migrants.
The “leadership realignment” comes as Trump administration officials push for ICE to make a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests per day – up from the 1,800 per day quota the White House initially demanded in January.
As part of the shake-up, Kenneth Genalo is out as the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division – the branch tasked with executing arrests and deportations.
Genalo “decided to retire and will continue to serve the public as a special government employee to ICE,” the agency said in a statement.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Acting Executive Associate Director Robert Hammer has also been reassigned to a “critical leadership position.” HSI is a law enforcement agency that has been supporting ICE in making arrests during deportation raids.
Career ICE officials Marcos Charles and Derek Gordon will replace Genalo and Hammer at ICE and HSI, respectively.
In total, more than half a dozen personnel changes were made at ERO, HSI and other ICE divisions Thursday, according to the agency.
“Organizational realignments will help ICE achieve President Trump and the American people’s mandate of arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens and making American communities safe,” ICE said in a statement.

Why hasn’t Mayorkas been executed by military firing squad yet? At the very least, he should be rotting in prison awaiting his scheduled date with Satan. What are you waiting for Pam Blondi? /spit
Everything would dry up fast and illegals would self deport if the aim was 3k employers a day who hire illegals. Pretty simple. You don’t need a wall if you arrest the employers who keep on undercutting American labor.

We “lived” in Monkey County MD for 30 years before escaping. Monkey County is replete with government employees, lawyers, government consultants and government retirees. It is the epicenter of LIB looney-ness and perversion.
Free at last! Thank God...Free at Last!!!
(by the way...diversity is completely overrated)
That’s a great idea. Maybe counting the illegal aliens could be accomplished by an early census with the added benefit of allowing the “extra” representatives in liberal enclaves to be eliminated based on the new census count.
That's why we incentivize self-deportations as well. Leave comfortably, or leave in chains.
They had a raid in Tallahassee yesterday that sent the local liberal masses off a cliff.
