The fiery dispute centered on a proposal that would have allowed agents to enter homes without judicial warrants
An internal dispute over how to carry out Donald Trump’s deportation agenda grew so heated that officials had to “clear the room,” according to a new report.
The argument unfolded during a February 2025 meeting attended by Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, and Caleb Vitello, who was then the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Scott and his deputies were advocating for a “master plan” — approved by then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — that called for establishing a National Incident Command Center, which would tap the resources of ICE, CBP and the Pentagon, NBC News reported.
The plan was part of an effort to dramatically ramp up deportations to 1 million per year, lining up with the president’s promise to carry out the largest illegal immigrant expulsion program in U.S. history.
I’m running out of ways to describe such mental myopia.
I’m running out of ways to even mentally react to the escalating holocaust. I feel hopeless. The holocaust is happening and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. People I love might be victims of it. If it spreads to Canada, just as the nazis spread to neighbouring countries, I might be a victim of it. The nazis might destroy everything I care about and I just have to try and carry on in the meantime because I don’t want to stop living because of a threat that may not get to me. The threat may hang over my head for decades, I don’t want to stop living in the meantime. I must carry on and just hope Canada stays safe from the nazis. As Nick Fury said, until such time as the world ends we will act as though it intends to spin on
Lying. They’re just lying to you. Lots of people believe them because they believe things based on how good they feel to think about.
