Immigration officers were “eviscerated” for not deporting illegal migrants fast enough during a heated meeting with senior Trump administration officials in Washington.

Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and a key architect of Donald Trump’s immigration policy, left 50 senior officers feeling their jobs were at risk, according to the Washington Examiner.

A string of officials described Mr Miller’s fury.

“Miller came in there and eviscerated everyone. ‘You guys aren’t doing a good job. You’re horrible leaders.’ He just ripped into everybody. He had nothing positive to say about anybody, shot morale down,” said an official who spoke with those in the room during the meeting.

“Stephen Miller wants everybody arrested. ‘Why aren’t you at Home Depot? Why aren’t you at 7-Eleven?’”

There is growing tension that Mr Trump’s mass deportations is not proceeding quickly enough.
