President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he will nominate Lance Schroyer as the next director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Schroyer has over 29 years of law enforcement experience in Oklahoma.
Trump made the announcement on social media, stating that Schroyer’s confirmation by the Senate is imperative and should not be delayed. ICE has been without a Senate-confirmed director since early 2017, with directors serving in an acting capacity.
The agency has been at the forefront of Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, with a focus on immigration detentions and attempted deportations. Trump has justified these actions as necessary to cut down on illegal immigration and improve domestic security.
