Trump Nominates Former Oklahoma Trooper Lance Schroyer for ICE Director

President Trump has nominated Lance Schroyer to serve as director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Schroyer previously worked as an Oklahoma state trooper before this nomination. Since the Obama administration, ICE has not had a director confirmed by the Senate. This nomination presents an opportunity to fill that leadership role within the agency.
