They just cycled a key figure out of public view. This is PR strategy - when criticism against a particular organization or any of its key figure(s) reaches a certain point, replace some key figures.
Tr;dr: the frogs in the pot all cheer as the cook is replaced and their replacement turns down the hob a touch.
People tend to see key figures as representative of entire organizations, e.g., there are so many people who see removing Trump as being a solution despite him being a clear symptom of the problem. Letting some take a fall is a PR win grab bag: many people interpret the "punishment" of a few people as being applied to the whole organization and it suggests reform and atonement without actually changing anything substantial. Then the new figures start and optionally say they're changing strategies for future improvement - "it'll work but it takes time, just trust me bro."
As long as this round of musical chairs tells a story that enough critics want to hear, enough mounting critical pressure is reduced for the cycle to continue a bit longer.
No, He was fired because he said that Pretti’s Second Amendment rights were invalid. MAGA can justify any amount of murder, but you start saying that people can’t carry guns and you’re going to lose support.
They were losing the base, so they turn on him and Noem and then they can pretend that anything bad was down to those two and the base can go back to fully supporting the administration and ICE
The only thing this does it show his other loyalist that being loyal and doing everything they tell you to do won't mean you keep your position.
Even though he's likely going to still get paid or given some stocks or trump coins or something instead of being held accountable, it's still an act that will clearly shows that trump will not stand by you when you get in trouble for following his orders.
His lackys are already bickering and at each other. This will fuel the fire.

I hope someone holds a grudge and he's hunted down.

This asshole is going to retire with full benefits.
Lasherz12@lemmynal.space · 18 pts · 213d
He's the face of ICE, surely the benefits start to mean less when every work9ng class person can't wait to spit in your food.

Bad title. He's still employed, he was just removed from the public. They're waiting out his upcoming retirement.
Man should be in prison, not a cushy desk job

He did not. Unfortunately.

Trump has always been happy to throw underlings under the bus. Nothing will change until Trump and those directly under him are replaced.

Literally Putin tactics

Nah. They sent him home to retire. Kind of like an extreme version of suspended, but with full pay.

When will his head roll?
HalfAFrisbee@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 212d
We should take everything thing he has from him until he kills himself.

A number of ICE agents may also be redeployed/withdrawn. But he's being replaced by the guy who came up with Trumps immigration policy... 😳 What to know about Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, as he heads to Minneapolis

Until he loses his life, it means nothing

Someone needs to make renderings of his face with hair. You know, for the future.

Who will represent the Hitler Youth at ICE?

He is going retire out to Venuzula or Argentina and grow a funny mustache.
