Trump Nominates 29-Year Veteran Lance Schroyer to Lead ICE After 11-Year Gap

Summary
Lance Schroyer, a senior Homeland Security adviser and former Oklahoma public safety major, was nominated to become ICE director, a post that has lacked Senate-confirmed leadership for 11 years.
Markwayne Mullin said Schroyer would help execute Trump's immigration agenda by targeting and deporting criminal undocumented immigrants, urging the Senate to confirm him quickly.
Schroyer brings more than 29 years of law enforcement and military experience, including work on Oklahoma's 287(g) program coordinating state and federal immigration enforcement operations.
His current DHS role centers on strategic immigration-enforcement coordination across local, regional and federal agencies, positioning the nomination as a push for tighter interagency execution.
