White House Withdraws Lance Schroyer Nomination for ICE Director Position
The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and ally of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, to lead US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Schroyer, praised by former President Trump for his law enforcement experience, faced criticism for limited immigration policy expertise. His Senate confirmation was delayed amid unrelated congressional inquiries. ICE has lacked a Senate-confirmed leader since the Obama administration, with David Venturella currently serving as acting director.
