President Trump announced he was withdrawing his nomination for the permanent director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to take the agency in a “tougher direction”
President Donald Trump on Friday announced he was withdrawing his nomination for the permanent director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to take the agency in a “tougher direction.”
Trump formally picked Ron Vitiello to lead the agency in August, two months after the homeland security official took over ICE in an acting capacity. Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn Friday, the president did not elaborate on what spurred the sudden personnel change.“We’re going in a little different direction,” Trump said. “Ron’s a good man, but we’re going in a tougher direction. We want to go in a tougher direction.
ICE faced repeated attacks from progressives and Democratic lawmakers, some of whom call for the abolition of the agency, which was created in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
