The Trump administration has begun to purge Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in five major U.S. cities.
ICE leaders in these cities were relieved of their jobs and moved to other posts within the federal agency, according to sources.
The Department of Homeland Security quietly started overhauling how it carries out its mass deportation operation in hopes of netting more arrests and ratcheting up its flashy, high-profile deportation campaign.
The changes are expected to be the first of more to come across ICE's 24 field offices nationwide.
