Expelled Congressman George Santos Eyes ICE Director Role Under Potential Trump Presidency

Santos, facing multiple federal charges, supports Trump's promise of mass deportation and disputes current estimates of illegal immigrants in the US.

Former Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from Congress due to allegations of defrauding campaign contributors and misusing campaign funds, has expressed his desire to head the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under a potential re-elected President Donald Trump in 2025.
Santos has criticized the current immigration policy and claimed that over 50 million people have invaded US sovereignty due to careless and neglectful immigration policy.
Santos' claim of over 50 million illegal immigrants is disputed, with estimates typically putting the number between 11 and 20 million.
Trump has promised to launch a mass deportation operation if re-elected, a message that Santos supports.
Santos faces 23 federal criminal charges related to allegations that he misled donors, fraudulently received unemployment benefits, lied on House financial disclosures, inflated his campaign finance reports and charged his donors’ credit cards without authorization.
