Trump’s hardline deportation agenda is back on track after Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem pushed back against Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ attempt to spare farmworkers from removal. The power struggle reveals the administration’s unwavering commitment to addressing America’s illegal immigration crisis despite internal policy debates. Trump’s Inner Circle Battles Over Deportation Priorities A brief but intense policy battle erupted within the Trump administration when Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins suggested exempting agricultural and hospitality workers from mass deportation efforts. Her intervention temporarily convinced President Trump to pause ICE operations in these sectors, setting off alarm bells for immigration hawks Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Advisor Kristi Noem. The policy reversal was swift after Miller and Noem made their case directly to Trump, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a consistent enforcement approach. ICE has now resumed operations across all sectors as the administration pushes forward with its promise to remove millions of illegal immigrants who entered the country during the Biden years. White House Dismisses Reports of Internal Conflict Despite reports of heated disagreements, the White House maintains that the administration remains unified in its immigration enforcement goals. “The entire Trump Administration is moving in the same direction to fulfill the President’s promises and remove illegal aliens from the United States,” said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, downplaying any suggestion of serious internal divisions.

Sources familiar with the matter indicate that President Trump personally directed ICE to continue with the planned mass deportations, with special emphasis on Democratic-led sanctuary cities. Budget Battles Loom Over Enforcement Push The administration’s aggressive deportation agenda faces potential funding challenges as some Congressional Republicans express concern about overspending. ICE is currently being pushed to double its daily apprehension numbers, with senior White House officials like Miller expecting results regardless of budgetary limitations. “You think that Stephen Miller is going to accept, ‘sorry Stephen, I’m just waiting on my annual appropriation, I’ll get back to you?'” one administration official told Politico, highlighting the pressure being placed on enforcement agencies. The White House is urging Senate Republicans to pass a comprehensive tax and spending package that would provide additional funding for border security initiatives.

However, White House officials have reaffirmed that while dangerous criminals remain the priority, “anyone who is in the United States illegally is, and has always been, at risk of deportation.” Sources: Trump admin shrugs off congressional concerns over ICE spending – POLITICO Stephen Miller and ICE Barbie in Bitter West Wing Civil War Over Round-Ups
