... In the weeks before they were ousted last month, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and top immigration enforcement official Ronald Vitiello challenged a secret White House plan to arrest thousands of parents and children in a blitz operation against migrants in 10 major U.S. cities.
According to seven current and former Department of Homeland Security officials, the administration wanted to target the crush of families that had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border after the president’s failed “zero tolerance” prosecution push in early 2018. The ultimate purpose, the officials said, was a show of force to send the message that the United States was going to get tough by swiftly moving to detain and deport recent immigrants — including families with children.
The sprawling operation included an effort to fast-track immigration court cases, allowing the government to obtain deportation orders against those who did not show for their hearings — officials said 90 percent of those targeted were found deportable in their absence. The subsequent arrests would have required coordinated raids against parents with children in their homes and neighborhoods.
But Vitiello and Nielsen halted it, concerned about a lack of preparation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, the risk of public outrage and worries that it would divert resources from the border.
Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller and ICE Deputy Director Matthew Albence were especially supportive of the plan, officials said, eager to execute dramatic, highly visible mass arrests that they argued would help deter the soaring influx of families.

We need more folks like Miller and Albence.
Bezos bullschtien. Even still it gets my vote.
Well they got purged. Now what’s the excuse?
Isn't that a concern for political leadership?
so what?
If they need manpower, they could ask for militia volunteers, the response would be overwhelming.
Japan used to have a yuuuuuge Iranian illegal alien problem in the early 90’s; the yen was high the Iranian sh*thole currency was nothing and Iranians still didn’t need elaborate visas before they flew; a hold-over from the days of the Shah.
The Iranians would hang out in big train stations, selling counterfeit phone cards and drugs. They’d stare at hot chicks constantly, make tons of trouble.
One month some entity posted posters everywhere giving notice of an impending Persian New Year celebration in Yoyogi Park, which was their main weekend weird hangout.
“Come eat all kind of FREE yummy stuff..!!”
They all came —it was a TRAP.
The cops deported them ALL. Yes, families. With no apology at all.
Now Japan has almost ZERO problem with Iranian illegal aliens because the Japanese were UNCOWARDLY about it.
So, too, should we be.
Fake news? I will be surprised if this was true.
Awesome.
Glad they were fired
Kirsten was a Kelly choice anyway
The Asians understand the effects uncontrolled diversity and multiculturalism.
Nielsen is one of those GOP bureaucrats who cave at the first sign of fake, astroturfed, leftist protest. And she is not a cyber expert.
