Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is undergoing a significant staff reorganization, involving leadership changes in its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) divisions. Kenneth Genalo, acting director of ERO, is retiring, while Robert Hammer, acting head of HSI, is transitioning to another role. Marcos Charles will become the acting head of ERO, and Derek Gordon will lead HSI. These changes, according to ICE, aim to fulfill President Trump's mandate of arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens. This follows White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller's announcement of a daily arrest goal of 3,000, a substantial increase from the current average of 656 daily arrests. The administration is seeking increased funding to support this ambitious deportation plan, including more ICE officers, detention beds, and transportation. This is the latest in a series of staff changes at ICE, reflecting the Trump administration's focus on immigration enforcement.
