Voters Push Back as Trump’s Deportation Drive Fails to Win Support

A Politico poll cited by The Daily Beast shows about 50% of Americans view the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign as too aggressive, with non-MAGA voters more likely to oppose it. Despite changes aimed at keeping ICE out of the headlines after Kristi Noem’s ouster and Markwayne Mullin’s pledge to ease public displays of enforcement, the public opinion shift has been minimal with midterms looming, underscoring a potential Republican vulnerability on immigration.

He later clarified there will be no amnesty and reiterated deportation for those here illegally. He also signaled a shift away from broad ICE raids, saying the agency will target the 'worst of the worst' and urged governors to collaborate with DHS on enforcement.

Deportation Data Leak Sparks Fresh MAGA Fury at Mullin

A new data drop showing ICE deportations stall under DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has triggered a fresh MAGA backlash, with hardliners like Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon accusing Mullin of being too soft on mass deportations. Trump remains publicly supportive of enforcement, even as Mullin promotes limited legal immigration reforms and focused border policy. The uproar follows Mullin’s earlier move to pause vehicle stops after deadly incidents and comes as internal pressure grows over whether Mullin can meet the administration’s deportation goals, despite DHS touting large totals of deportations and arrests.

Trump Quietly Expands Deportation Drive as ICE Detentions Surge

The Daily Beast reports that Donald Trump ordered a rapid surge in immigration arrests, pushing ICE to detain more than 10,000 people in five days and targeting about 2,000 detentions per day, a move described as a renewed push to fulfill mass-deportation promises. The drive comes amid a broader pattern of enforcement actions and scrutiny of DHS contractors, including Salus Worldwide Solutions, which received a $200 million extension despite a criminal probe and questions about contracting and results.

MAGA Pushback Flare as Mullin Signals TPS Could Be Temporary

The remarks drew fire from Fox News personalities and other conservatives who warned it could cost Trump support in the midterms, prompting Mullin to backtrack and reiterate that TPS is temporary while criticizing Democrat polices.

Trump Nominates Lance Schroyer to Lead ICE as First Senate-Confirmed Pick Since 2017

President Trump nominated Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and current adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, to lead ICE, a role that would mark the first Senate-confirmed ICE director since 2017; acting chief David Venturella will remain in place until Schroyer is confirmed. Schroyer’s national policy experience is limited, and he has not previously worked for ICE, as the agency remains central to Trump’s deportation goals amid scrutiny following deadly incidents.

Mullin: ICE at Polls Only for Threats, Not Voter Checks

CNN's Kasie Hunt pressed DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin about a possible plan to deploy ICE agents to polling sites for the midterms. Mullin refused to rule out the possibility, saying agents would appear only if there were a specific threat, and not for voter identification. He argued that ICE's presence would be a broader law-enforcement measure in emergencies, not immigration enforcement, and stressed that American citizens should be the ones voting.
