Many of President-elect Donald Trump’s picks for his Cabinet and other high-level posts have been outsiders, often with Fox News appearances as key qualifications.

I don’t want to call him a Boy Scout, but he’s as close as it gets,” said Corey Price, the former acting executive associate director of Enforcement and Removal Operations. ICE’s 20,000 agents in 400 offices will be in charge of the entire removal process, including searching for immigrants in the country illegally, detaining them in ICE facilities, taking them to staging areas in the Southern U.S. and overseeing ICE-chartered flights out of the country.
