Trump 2nd term live updates: Dan Bongino named as deputy FBI director

The acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been moved to an operations role, according to multiple officials. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the shakeup at ICE.

Caleb Vitello "is no longer in an Administrative role, but is instead overseeing all field and enforcement operations: finding, arresting, and deporting illegal aliens, which is a major priority of the President and Secretary Noem," according to a DHS spokesperson.

The agency is now left with no director. It is unclear who is currently leading the agency tasked with Trump's priority to deport those in the country illegally.

Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan has recently expressed frustration on the pace at which deportations have occurred.

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers, all veterans, have written a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about the possible dismissal of high-ranking military officers. They’re asking for details about why the officers might be fired or removed from their posts.

“As your administration contemplates removing numerous General and Flag Officers, it is vital that we have transparency on the criteria and process used to evaluate these officers. There are valid reasons to remove a General or Flag Officer, but there must be clear, transparent, and apolitical criteria and processes associated with any such dismissal," they wrote.

"An apolitical military is an essential component of our democracy and our national security," they added.

ABC News previously reported Gen. CQ Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top admiral, are on the list of officers provided to Congress.

The Pentagon has temporarily delayed mass layoffs of thousands of probationary employees as they continue to review the potential impacts on readiness, two U.S. officials tell ABC News.

One of the officials said the Defense Department did not anticipate making any determination this week while the assessment of impacts continues, particularly since the DOD is a worldwide enterprises with civilian personnel around the world. It’s unclear how long the delay could take.

The officials said that department officials are looking at the third and fourth order effects and impact on the force if there are thousands of layoffs.

The Defense Department has about 55,000 probationary employees worldwide. That’s the universe of civilians who have less one to three years of service in their current jobs. Exemptions have been requested for some of these employees so the actual number of layoffs will be lower, but still significant given that the DOD is the nation’s largest employer.
