A government attorney resigned over what he called a shift in Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) mission from safeguarding the nation to chasing deportation numbers.
Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney, quit the ICE legal department last month, The Atlantic reported.
"We still need good attorneys at ICE. There are drug traffickers and national-security threats and human-rights violators in our country who need to be dealt with. But we are now focusing on numbers over all else," Boyd told the outlet.
Newsweek has contacted the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for comment.
