President Trump says he’s nominating Lance Schroyer, who served as an Oklahoma state trooper and with the U.S. Marines, as the next director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>

The nomination follows months of scrutiny over the agency’s aggressive immigration tactics and after Todd Lyons resigned as acting ICE director at the end of May. David Venturella, a longtime ICE official and former executive of a private prison corporation, has been leading the agency in an acting capacity since June.<\/p>\n

As Supreme Court expands Trump’s immigration power, experts warn of steeper U.S. population decline<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

On his Truth Social platform, Trump described Schroyer as a “PATRIOT with real operational experience, and proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst.”<\/p>

“He LOVES the men and women of ICE,” Trump added.<\/p>

If confirmed, Schroyer would partner with a fellow Oklahoman to implement the Trump administration’s controversial immigration crackdown. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, is led by Secretary Markwayne Mullin, a former congressman for Oklahoma.<\/p>

Mullin praised Schroyer’s nomination on the social media platform X.<\/p>

“With over 29 years of law enforcement experience, Lance will play a vital role in helping deliver on the President’s mandate from the American people to target, arrest, and deport illegal aliens,” he wrote.<\/p>

Schroyer currently serves as the senior adviser to Mullin and oversees coordination of immigration enforcement, according to a DHS statement.<\/p>

Echoing Trump, Mullin called for a quick Senate confirmation for Schroyer. ICE hasn’t had a Senate-confirmed director since the Obama administration.<\/p>
