President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has nominated Lance Schroyer to serve as the next director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Schroyer is a former Oklahoma State Trooper and U.S. Marine with 29 years of law enforcement experience, according to multiple sources.
The announcement comes after former ICE director Todd Lyons resigned at the end of May. The immigration enforcement agency has been without a Senate-confirmed director since 2017, during Trump’s first term, as noted by Al Jazeera.
Schroyer’s nomination was reported by several news outlets, including CBS News, which stated that Trump said he has nominated Schroyer to be the next ICE director. Fox News and the Washington Examiner described Schroyer as a law enforcement veteran, emphasizing his background as a former Oklahoma State Trooper and Marine.
The nomination has not yet been confirmed by the Senate. As with all presidential nominations, Schroyer’s appointment will require Senate confirmation before he can assume the role.
No left-leaning sources reported on this story beyond noting the vacancy at ICE since 2017. No right-leaning sources reported on this story beyond describing Schroyer’s background and the nature of the nomination.
No center-leaning sources reported on this story beyond confirming the nomination and Schroyer’s identity.
The nomination reflects a continuation of Trump’s pattern of appointing law enforcement officials to leadership roles within federal agencies.
