EXCLUSIVE —  President Donald Trump’s administration has fallen short on its promises to enforce immigration law, according to Mike Howell, a visiting fellow of the Border Security and Immigration Center of the Heritage Foundation, per a phone interview with the Washington Examiner.

Howell attributed the president’s shortcomings to his refusal to carry out workplace deportations and the Department of Homeland Security’s misleading messaging, which is eroding public trust.
