CBS News reports:
The Trump administration is shaking up Immigration and Customs Enforcement leadership amid continued frustrations within the White House about the level of immigration arrests and deportations conducted by the agency, three sources familiar with the effort told CBS News Thursday. Kenneth Genalo will no longer lead the ICE branch tasked with carrying out arrests and deportations, Enforcement and Removal Operations, the sources said
ERO has been spearheading the Trump administration’s aggressive and government-wide campaign to ramp up efforts to locate, arrest and deport unauthorized migrants across the country. The sources said Genalo will be retiring. Two of the sources said Robert Hammer will no longer be the head of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations. He is expected to be reassigned to another post within ICE.
