As both Republicans and (rational) Democrats cheer President Donald Trump's continuing deportation of illegal alien criminals, one conspicuous guy isn't happy with the results, so far: Donald Trump.

Trump has been disappointed with the results of his mass deportation campaign, according to four people with knowledge of the briefings, The Washington Post reported on Sunday. As a result, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have been directed by administration officials to aggressively ramp up the number of illegals they arrest and deport from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500.

Here's more, via the Washington Post:

The quotas were outlined Saturday in a call with senior ICE officials, who were told that each of the agency’s field offices should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable for missing those targets. The four people spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal briefings.

White House “border czar” Tom Homan has said for weeks that ICE would not conduct mass roundups and its officers would prioritize immigrants with criminal records and who are gang members. But the quotas issued this weekend would place ICE officers under more pressure to seize a wider range of potential deportees to avoid reprimand.

So be it: being in this country illegally is reason enough, in my book.

Trump officials are trying to raise deportation numbers by directing more federal police to the task. 

The deportation plan has set hair on fire through the Democrat Party and among their left-wing media water carriers. Case in point: a Washington Post reporter got 41 million X (formerly Twitter) views of a crying woman as she was told that she could not cross into the United States. 

Homan bluntly told ABC News in a Sunday interview: "If you're in the country illegally, you got a problem" (emphasis, mine):

There's consequences [for] entering the country illegally. If we don't show there's consequences, you're never going to fix the border problem.

Bingo, and not dissimilar to warning a child to stop doing what he or she is doing. Words without demonstrable actions are worse than no words at all. Trump and Homan know that — and they are just beginning to deliver that harsh message through even harsher actions.

Homan also told ABC that "as that aperture opens, there'll be more arrests nationwide." The no-nonsense border czar added that there will be "collateral arrests," especially in the so-called "sanctuary cities" that are resistant to helping ICE officials locate and arrest illegal aliens who are already in local custody for other crimes.

Homan told Breitbart News in November:

We need to control the narrative so we keep the trust of American people. Sometimes you’ve got to slow roll it, but other times, I think, the shock of it will move people to return to their home countries. 

This won’t be neighborhood sweeps. This is a targeted enforcement operation. We know exactly who we’re going to arrest before we leave office. … Every arrest we make has been approved by a supervisor. We know exactly who we’re looking for. 

We have a pretty good idea where we’re going to find them. They got to get approval to do it. So it’s going to be well, well-planned, humane operation.

Love the plan, but it's clear that Donald Trump has already had enough of the "slow roll," and that can only lead to more aggressive actions by ICE — sooner rather than later.
