Department of Homeland Security figures obtained by CBS News show ICE removed 483,200 people in the fiscal year that ended September 30, up from 442,640 a year earlier, Daily Mail reports. The record comes days after President Donald Trump told CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ that his immigration crackdown may have been too tough and that a bipartisan deal could be doable. Trump then elevated Stephen Miller, architect of his hardline immigration policies, to White House chief of staff after Susie Wiles left. Semafor reports the move extinguished hope for an immigration deal, and the Washington Examiner says Miller will be a key player in whether any bipartisan deal is seriously discussed.
