President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday night announced a new round of nominees and appointments to tackle his aggressive immigration and homeland security agenda.<\/p>\n

Trump said he was nominating Rodney Scott as commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. Scott served for almost three decades in the Border Patrol, and as the chief of the agency during the last year of the Trump administration and beginning of the Biden administration. He helped implement Trump\u2019s Remain in Mexico Policy, Title 42 and Safe Third Country agreements.<\/p>\n

Trump also announced he was tapping Caleb Vitello, who\u2019s currently the assistant director of the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs in Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to serve as acting director of ICE.<\/p>\n

And the president-elect picked Tony Salisbury, who serves as the special agent in charge for ICE Homeland Security Investigations in Miami, to serve as the deputy homeland security adviser on the White House Homeland Security Council. Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents more than 17,000 Border Patrol Agents and support staff, was also announced as Trump\u2019s nominee to be ambassador to Chile.<\/p>\n

Immigration was Trump\u2019s top priority on the campaign trail, and in his first 100 days<\/a> he plans to begin the process of deporting hundreds of thousands of people and to roll back President Joe Biden\u2019s immigration policies. Outside allies expect the administration\u2019s immigration policy, similar to Trump\u2019s first term, to be run out of the White House by incoming Border Czar Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
