Behind the shakeup at Homeland Security
Pushback on a previously secret White House plan to arrest thousands of migrant parents and children in nearly a dozen U.S. cities led to the departures of former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and former Acting ICE Director Ron Vitiello from the Trump administration, Fox News confirmed. The Trump administration wanted to target migrant families that had crossed into the U.S. from Mexico in attempt to show that the U.S. wasn't going to back down on its border stance by detaining and deporting illegal immigrant families, The Washington Post first reported. Nielsen and Vitiello challenged the administration’s plan, citing lack of preparation, public outrage and worries that the operation could use border resources. These factors were reportedly part of the reason Trump pushed both officials out of the administration.
