  • President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Rodney Scott to lead the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Caleb Vitello to head the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), highlighting their extensive experience in immigration enforcement.
  • Scott, a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Border Patrol, previously served as Chief of the Border Patrol, during which time he implemented policies like Remain in Mexico, Title 42 and Safe Third Agreements, achieving record-low illegal immigration levels.
  • Vitello, currently assistant director at ICE's Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs, is praised for his leadership and commitment to ICE’s mission, particularly in addressing illegal alien crime.
  • Trump's second administration aims to strengthen immigration enforcement through measures like completing the border wall, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy and conducting a large-scale deportation program, while also considering ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal migrants.
  • Trump has appointed Tom Homan as border czar and Stephen Miller as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, signaling a hardline approach to immigration. Additionally, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been nominated to lead the Department of Homeland Security, further emphasizing Trump’s commitment to border security and immigration reform.
President-elect Donald Trump has revealed his picks for the top roles at two key immigration enforcement agencies, attesting to his choices' track records in immigration policy. The real estate mogul announced his nominations on Truth Social. Rodney Scott, a veteran with nearly three decades in the U.S. Border Patrol, has been chosen to lead Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Meanwhile, Caleb Vitello – currently assistant director at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs – will head the agency itself. "Caleb's exceptional leadership, extensive experience, and commitment to ICE's mission make him an excellent choice to implement my efforts to enhance the safety and security of American communities who have been victimized by illegal alien crime," Trump wrote of Vitello. He also lauded Scott for his almost 30 years of service in the Border Patrol, "building vast experience and knowledge in law enforcement and border security." The president-elect continued: "Rodney served as the 24th chief of the U.S. Border Patrol – where he implemented Remain in Mexico, Title 42 [and] Safe Third Agreements – and achieved record low levels of illegal immigration."

A strong team for BORDER SECURITY

During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump promised to bolster the country's immigration enforcement by completing the border wall, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy and conducting the "largest deportation program in American history." He also pledged end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal migrants in the United States. (Related: Trump seeks to end BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP when he returns to the White House next month.) To achieve these goals, Trump appointed former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan as border czar. Homan's position, which does not require Senate confirmation, grants him significant authority over the second Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategy. Longtime Trump aide and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller will serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, further signaling the administration’s intent to pursue aggressive immigration measures. Meanwhile, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been nominated to lead the Department of Homeland Security. The department oversees ICE, CBP and other critical immigration agencies. Her leadership, coupled with Vitello and Scott's appointments, underscores Trump's commitment to his hardline immigration agenda. As Trump prepares to take office, his administration’s focus on these issues is expected to spark significant debate in Congress and beyond. The nominations set the stage for an ambitious overhaul of U.S. immigration enforcement under Trump’s leadership, prioritizing border security and immigration reform as he promised during his run for the presidency.
