The administration is reportedly displeased with the number of deportations.

The Trump administration has reassigned the top Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in five U.S. cities due to an insufficient number of deportations.

The personnel moves last Friday, which the Washington Examiner first reported, affected ICE leaders in Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Diego. In some cities, those positions will be filled by senior Border Patrol agents, according to the report. Those five changes won’t be the last, three officials told the outlet.

    The police must be independent if they are to become efficient. They must form a closed, autonomous organization in order to operate by the most direct and efficient means and not be shackled by subsidiary considerations. And in this autonomy, they must be self-confident in respect to the law. It matters little whether police action is legal, if it is efficient. The rules obeyed by a technical organization are no longer rules of justice or injustice. They are "laws” in a purely technical sense. As far as the police are concerned, the highest stage is reached when the legislature legalizes their independence of the legislature itself and recognizes the primacy of technical laws.

    For what does order signify? In effect, the same thing as efficiency. Law must assure order. Order is the application of the will of the state. Law must be efficient. Efficiency is itself order. Once more we witness a general transformation of means into ends. Law thus becomes an activity without any end and without any meaning. It is efficient for efficiency s sake; and individual laws are conceived solely with a view to being efficient.
