Trump continues round of appointments with 3 new picks to top homeland security, immigration

President-elect Donald Trump has been aggressively rolling out his picks to serve in his Cabinet and other top roles. Thursday was no different as he focused on picks that would work hard to secure the border and carry out a mass deportation operation.

Trump added nominees for homeland security and immigration, naming Rodney Scott as Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Caleb Vitello as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Tony Salisbury to be Deputy Homeland Security Advisor (White House Homeland Security Council).

Scott is a former Border Patrol chief who served as chief from 2020 until he was ousted by the Biden administration in mid-2021. Since then, he has been a fierce critic of the Biden administration’s immigration policies and its handling of the crisis at the southern border.

Before being chief, he had led the San Diego Sector, one of the most challenging sectors in the country. He has been highly critical of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and recently accused him of having "intentionally" opened the southern border.

“I would prefer he got rid of Homeland Security.”


Wouldn’t that be great? I remember when the department was formed and I thought it sounded so “1930’ish Germany”.

And they brought in KGB and STASI generals to advise them.

Hope he stops draining the slim majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives. Too risky, even if the nominees are from “safe” Republican districts, because Democrats excel at off year elections.
