Trump withdraws Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, as his nominee to lead ICE
The agency will remain under acting leadership after the withdrawal, as ICE has lacked a Senate-confirmed director for 11 years, officials said.
- On Thursday, the White House withdrew President Donald Trump's nomination of Lance Schroyer to lead ICE, ensuring the agency remains without a Senate-confirmed leader since 2017.
- Republican Sen. Rand Paul stalled Schroyer's advancement in the Senate Homeland Security committee, demanding details regarding investigations into agent-involved shootings in Minnesota and blocking the nomination.
- Nominated in June, Schroyer is a former Oklahoma state trooper and ally of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin; critics expressed surprise at his lack of experience in immigration enforcement or agency leadership.
- David Venturella remains the agency's acting chief, having returned to the role after Todd Lyons resigned in April, and continues to perform the duties of ICE director.
- The withdrawal leaves ICE without permanent leadership since 2017; the agency faces "mounting scrutiny nationwide" regarding its operations, complicating the administration's efforts to fill key immigration enforcement positions.
