The head of the Department of Homeland Secretary (DHS) is planning to make major alterations to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency’s arm in charge of immigration enforcement. Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS chief, said he is still in the midst of a review of ICE but expects to make “significant changes” when he’s done. “What those changes will be, I am wrestling with right now, quite frankly,” Mayorkas told the Washington Post. Under President Joe Biden’s administration, illegal border crossings have skyrocketed, hitting over 177,000 in April. Tens of thousands of other illegal immigrants evade capture by border agents each month. At the same time, the number of deportations carried out by ICE hit a record low. Officers deported fewer than 3,000 illegal aliens. Biden altered or abolished key Trump-era immigration rules, including ending the “Remain in Mexico” program that saw asylum seekers wait in Mexico for their claims to be heard.
