What happened
President Donald Trump announced that he is nominating Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and U.S. Marine, to serve as director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump cited Schroyer’s 29 years in law enforcement and praised his work with ICE partnerships, including 287(g) programs, while urging the Senate to confirm him quickly. If confirmed, Schroyer would take over after Todd Lyons resigned as acting ICE director in late May, with David Venturella currently serving in an interim role. The nomination comes as ICE faces scrutiny over aggressive immigration enforcement tactics under Trump’s renewed crackdown.
