Carry out the administration’s mass deportation mandate.

He told the House Homeland Security Committee in February 2026 that the president tasked the agency with mass deportations and that it was fulfilling the mandate: nearly 379,000 arrests and more than 475,000 removals between January 2025 and January 2026, including more than 7,300 suspected gang members. Three things belong alongside the numbers. He described removing people to countries he had not known existed, referring to third-country deportations to African nations where those deported had no ties. Two protesters were killed in incidents involving immigration agents, and he committed to giving Congress the full investigation findings (tracked as Scott’s promise, p73). NBC News reported DHS leadership blaming him and CBP Commissioner Scott for missing internal arrest quotas. He departed the acting role May 31, 2026.
