United States President Donald Trump has nominated Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and US Marine with 29 years of law enforcement experience, to serve as the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE is a key agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and carrying out deportation campaigns.

Trump praised Schroyer on his Truth Social platform, stating, “Just like ME and our Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, he LOVES the men and women of ICE.” He added that Schroyer "has what it takes to DETAIN AND DEPORT Illegal Alien Criminals, including murders, rapists, and drug traffickers at a rate never seen before!”

The agency has been without a Senate-confirmed director since 2017, during Trump's first term. The previous ICE director, Lyons, who had served since 2007, announced in April that he would step down at the end of May.

Schroyer is new to leading a federal agency, and his experience is expected to be scrutinized during the Senate confirmation process.

Separately, an ICE agent was arrested following the non-fatal shooting of Venezuelan immigrant Julio Sosa-Celis, with Minneapolis prosecutors accusing the agent of falsely reporting a crime.
