Returning to this topic briefly, the acting director of ICE was reassigned due to Administration dissatisfaction with the pace of arrests:

But the latest shake-up comes as top administration officials remain frustrated with the pace of arrests and deportation numbers. ICE arrests increased during Trump’s first weeks in office, but the pace has since slowed — and arrests do not always equal deportations. Trump’s vow to deport millions of undocumented immigrants was his top campaign promise, but his administration continues to face a slew of challenges to operationalize the ambitious undertaking that will take funding, time and additional resources to scale up.

This is part of what's driving Thune and the Senate GOP to fast-track a border funding package as the first phase of a two-reconciliation process, instead of "one big beautiful bill." It takes money to dramatically increase the rate of immigrant arrests. A small reconciliation package would be able to get that money to the Administration more quickly than the Big Beautiful Bill, which might end up taking quite a long time indeed to get through the House.
