ICE told to hit 3,000/day. Its director is breaking under the pressure.

“Acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues…”
“He would be visibly upset and struggling to make the decisions…”
Lyons oversees an agency tasked with deporting 3,000 immigrants a day
Actual pace: ~1,100/day
Officials say pressure came from the White House and Stephen Miller, including heated daily calls
Administration response: Miller is “passionate,” not yelling
Lyons: stress “in no way related to the White House”
