Nominated by President Trump in August of 2018. This appointment was without precedent--Vitiello is the only person to lead both components of the Department of Homeland Security: ICE and CBP. As ICE’s senior leader, he oversaw a workforce of more than 20,000 officers, special agents, attorneys and mission support professionals with a budget of over $7 billion and still made it a top priority to meet with front line personnel to directly ensure that employees were heard and fully supported. Vitiello also actively engaged with interagency partners and community stakeholders to promote the critical importance of ICE’s homeland security and public safety missions.
