President Donald Trump’s head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he wants to see the deportation process look like "[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings."
ICE's Acting Director Todd Lyons made the remarks during the 2025 Border Security Expo at the Phoenix Convention Center on April 8, 2025, according to the Arizona Mirror.
His vision would see squads of ICE agents in trucks rounding people up and shipping them to other countries in the same way that Amazon ships packages.
