President Trump announced his nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Schroyer's nomination comes after Todd Lyons stepped down as ICE director at the end of May. David Venturella, who previously worked as an executive at a private prison operator, has held the acting director position since Lyons's departure. The ICE director role oversees a federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and managing detention operations across the United States.
