(Natural News)—President-elect Donald Trump has revealed his picks for the top roles at two key immigration enforcement agencies, attesting to his choices’ track records in immigration policy.
The real estate mogul announced his nominations on Truth Social. Rodney Scott, a veteran with nearly three decades in the U.S. Border Patrol, has been chosen to lead Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Meanwhile, Caleb Vitello – currently assistant director at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement‘s (ICE) Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs – will head the agency itself.
“Caleb’s exceptional leadership, extensive experience, and commitment to ICE’s mission make him an excellent choice to implement my efforts to enhance the safety and security of American communities who have been victimized by illegal alien crime,” Trump wrote of Vitello.
He also lauded Scott for his almost 30 years of service in the Border Patrol, “building vast experience and knowledge in law enforcement and border security.” The president-elect continued: “Rodney served as the 24th chief of the U.S. Border Patrol – where he implemented Remain in Mexico, Title 42 [and] Safe Third Agreements – and achieved record low levels of illegal immigration.”
A strong team for BORDER SECURITY
During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump promised to bolster the country’s immigration enforcement by completing the border wall, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy and conducting the “largest deportation program in American history.” He also pledged end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal migrants in the United States. (Related: Trump seeks to end BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP when he returns to the White House next month.)
To achieve these goals, Trump appointed former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan as border czar. Homan’s position, which does not require Senate confirmation, grants him significant authority over the second Trump administration’s immigration enforcement strategy. Longtime Trump aide and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller will serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, further signaling the administration’s intent to pursue aggressive immigration measures.
Meanwhile, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been nominated to lead the Department of Homeland Security. The department oversees ICE, CBP and other critical immigration agencies. Her leadership, coupled with Vitello and Scott’s appointments, underscores Trump’s commitment to his hardline immigration agenda.
As Trump prepares to take office, his administration’s focus on these issues is expected to spark significant debate in Congress and beyond. The nominations set the stage for an ambitious overhaul of U.S. immigration enforcement under Trump’s leadership, prioritizing border security and immigration reform as he promised during his run for the presidency.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
