ICE gets new chief amid calls to abolish immigration agency
The Washington Times ^ | June 30, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

A former top Border Patrol official was tapped Saturday to be the acting chief of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Ronald D. Vitiello takes over from Thomas D. Homan, who had been the acting chief since the start of the Trump administration.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced the move, calling Mr. Vitiello a “well-respected career law enforcement officer” and promised he would be a good advocate for agents and officers.

NYT article says Homan was set to retire in Dec, 2017 but he was encouraged to stay on. Guess he got tired of the bureaucracy.

Bullshit

Trump ran on “Lock Her Up”

No way he wins re-election, and the GOP does well in the Midterms, unless he ATTACKS!

USMC

Sooo, you prefer the liberal method of operating 'justice'? President Trump ran on law and order... it would take a judge/jury to find the wicked witch guilty. Where exactly do you propose to find an unbiased judge or jury? I would rather her wander like a vagabond, looking and sounding like a lunatic than some judge/jury find her 'not' guilty. She will never be the US president... ever .... I would be content to let God sort her out for eternity.

Trump isn’t playing by the Democrats’ rules; nor yours. He is focused on doing what’s right for the country. The tweets, the entire Mueller investigation, and the counter-investigations are all complete misdirection. He can send the entire establishment running with 200 characters, while he can focus on important matters.

He has already accomplished more than any conservative President in recent history. Ever notice how quickly he redirects fire back to himself? Those whom he appoints have no fear of being abandoned to the Leftist wolves.

As for Hillary and the rest? They experience the torments of hell on a daily basis. Should they be prosecuted? Probably, but from a pragmatic view, it’s better they spend their miserable lives in fear as one after another of their carefully-crafted schemes fall and expose the malodorous corruption that is the Deep State.

Thanks, that's gotta be it.

I will make this really simple for you.

“Not Playing By Their Rules” means standard time tested counter coup measures up to and including mass arrests, seizure of assets, and executions.

Trump will either walk the walk or be destroyed.

Is that simple enough for you?

Me too, and though they didn’t say a lot about him in this piece it did hint that he’s a good pick to replace Homan.

I believe Homan has already announced he is retiring. This has been in the works for awhile

And just weeks ago they were focusing their attention on porn star. Democrats march in lock-step.

Ooohhh! Such scary words. I’m sure the President is quaking in his boots that some anonymous poster virulently postulates such perilous pronouncements.

Let me be perfectly clear.

Trump is walking the walk.

He has given up more than you’ll ever accomplish. He’s put his life on the line to save this country. He’s fighting the good fight every minute of every day. The fact that the Establishment attacks, obstructs and obfuscates every issue hasn’t slowed him. No, he’s not done everything mentioned in his campaign, but that’s only because he’s not done. He has already accomplished more than any president since Reagan, but that’s not good enough for you!

Your ridiculous remonstrances only serve to exemplify the difference between die-hard and blow-hard. Please foist your fevered flatulence on another fool.

If the dems want to get rid of ICE, then President Trump should announce the doubling in size of ICE. Take the personnel from the ATF.
