President Donald Trump's decision to replace Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem gives him an opportunity to reset his mass deportation agenda — or to double down on a campaign promise. The White House's political director encouraged Republican lawmakers to focus on immigration enforcement among criminals, a pivot from the mass deportations the president ran on. House Speaker Mike Johnson says the operations have created a “hiccup” for the party. But all indications are that Trump’s mass deportation operation is not stalling out but intensifying. Trump's nominee to take over the department, Markwayne Mullin, will face questions at a Senate confirmation hearing this week.
