An Immigrations Customs and Enforcement (ICE) investigations team is reportedly choosing to direct their focus from drug and human trafficking cases to deportations to meet quotas from the Trump administration, according to a longtime ICE agent. As ICE rushes to fulfill President Donald Trump's promise of "mass deportations," typical cases for some teams in the agency have reportedly fallen by the wayside. One agent who has spent years with ICE's Homeland Security Investigations division told The Atlantic that leaders have dismissed taking on new cases so that they can better focus on arrests that will lead to deportations.
