Story summary

The Trump administration plans to replace Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) leaders with Border Patrol officials to intensify deportations and enforcement tactics.
Former ICE officials express concern that this shift may lead to a more aggressive approach, undermining ICE's focus on targeted interior enforcement.
Critics warn that the Border Patrol's history of misconduct could increase arrests, including of U.S. citizens, and recent court rulings have allowed for racial profiling.
