Trump expected to name ICE veteran with private detention ties as agency’s acting director

Donald Trump is expected to name David Venturella as the acting director of ICE, a move that may draw scrutiny from Democrats due to his past work with private prison firm The GEO Group. Venturella has deep ties to the detention industry and has worked with ICE on detention-center contracts. His appointment comes as Republicans push to expand ICE's funding and deportation efforts.
